Jess and John met during their first year of medical school. They were friends for the first few months of school, playing on the same intramural basketball team and taking the same classes. They really hit it off on a class trip to Austin, TX when a mutual friend hinted to John that Jess might be his type. They clicked instantly and then went on their first official date to Chuy's Mexican restaurant back in Lubbock, TX. The rest is history...

Jess and John went on a big European trip at the end of medical school. Their trip started in Paris, France, Jess's favorite city in Europe. On the first day of their trip, John took Jess on a leisurely walk around the city. The walk took them to the Luxembourg gardens. In front of the palace, John got down on one knee and proposed! Of course Jess said 'Yes!' They went on to travel to London, Amsterdam, Scotland, and Dublin celebrating their engagement.
