Faye and Jon met September 18th, 2020. They had their first date in a little Portuguese restaurant in Orleans because they both have a love for seafood.

Their second date took place at a French restaurant, which they both hated, but instead of letting the food and service ruin their date Faye ordered a bottle of wine and they talked and laughed the whole night.

In the beginning of their budding relationship COVID was at it's peak but that didn't stop Jon and Faye from wanting to be in each other's circles. Couple week's later Faye was at Jon's so often that she thought it was best to bring over a few personal items. Items turned into boxes, then boxes into haul's, which led to Faye taking over the closet and her never leaving.

A year and a full pandemic later, after spending almost everyday with each other Jon proposed to Faye. Together they designed and created Faye's ring as a symbol of their love and growth as one.

If you ask them today, they would both answer that they had fallen head over heels for each other after that first date. Took Jon a few minutes longer because Faye was always late, but it happened. They had begun a life together quickly but they couldn't imagine it being any other way. They laughed so hard they cried, they suffered a deep loss in the family and took comfort in each other's arms during that time. They moved not once but twice, they went through big career changes and they added to their family by adopting Smudge the cat, then later Max the dog.

To this day Faye is still late here and there, but Jon wouldn't want her any other way.
