Lee and Tiffany met in October of 2020. Tiffany was working with 2 of her friends Ashley and Amy at the Mississippi State Fair. COVID was putting strains on everything so she was tasked with counting the people that came in and out of the fairgrounds to ensure there were not too many people. Lee was volunteering with his nonprofit, 5th Squad, at the same gate. The very first night they saw each other was the last night they looked anywhere else.
