In October 2023, fate brought Jess and Mike together through a dating app, but they decided to spin a more magical version of their meeting. Rather than swiping right, they claimed it all started in the aisles of a Joanne’s Fabrics. Imagine this: Jessica, focused on finding the perfect fabric for a project, was humming to the store music when she turned into an aisle and collided carts with Mike. Mike, ever the hero, quickly caught a bolt of fabric heading for the floor. As they stood there surrounded by scattered fabric and quilting supplies, their eyes met, and in that moment, they both felt it—this was meant to be. Mike, ever resourceful and skilled at finding solutions, offered to help Jessica find the right pattern. Jessica, with a clever smile, responded, “I don’t know… but maybe you could help me pick out the perfect fabric for a lifetime of memories?” And just like that, a spark was lit. They spent hours chatting & by the time they left Joanne’s, they had exchanged phone numbers, shared a few laughs, and promised to meet again. No matter how they met, though, their relationship is something truly special—woven together by laughter, quality time with friends, hockey games, comedy shows, binge-watching Yellowstone and The Walking Dead, cooking dinners, and countless trips to pick up supplies for their next home improvement project.
