On November 24, 2021, the night before Thanksgiving, Jessica was planning for a night out with friends . Dana (bridesmaid) texted Jessica and said "Hey! Are you going out tonight? I have a really nice guy friend that's coming out with us and I'd love for you to meet him!" A little hesitant, and nervous, Jessica agreed to meet them later that night.

After their introduction, Jessica and Justin talked for a while, had a few drinks together and played a few games of pool. After all the fun, they went their separate ways.

Jessica texted Dana the next day asking for Justin's number but didn't reach out. So, Dana and Chad (groomsman) invited Justin and Jessica to church the following Sunday. Both were surprised to see each other there. After the service, Justin sent Jessica a message to tell her she looked beautiful at church. How sweet!

Justin invited Jessica out for Axe Throwing and drinks at the Sand Bar with Chad and Dana to celebrate his 25th birthday on December 10. You could say this is when things started getting serious because the next day, Justin asked Jessica to meet his family at Twin City Players for a play.

Justin asked Jessica to be his girlfriend on January 26, 2022.
