It was a cold winter night in January of 2017 when Liam and Jess first met. Liam's roommate was hanging out with some of Jess's friends at the time and invited them over for a night of fun and games.

When Liam was told they were coming he was reluctant at first to now have to host and entertain a group of people but gave in to the pleas and decided to make the most of it.

Whilst the activities were already under way Liam was of course "fashionably late" ... from his room upstairs because he had to be " too cool" for this group of freshman that had come to hang out.

It didn't take long for him to turn around in and immediately be swept off his feet by the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on - a glowing blonde full of excitement and determination as she with her partner was attempting to beat their competition in Beer Pong.

Liam couldn't think of anything else he had to find a way to talk to her and do his best to win over her attention - he was starstruck. Finally the game had ended unfortunately for Jess the opposing team came back in stride and won the game with one cup remaining and fortunately for Liam, he had his opening. "Alright I got next game, and I'll choose .. hmmm" trying to keep his cool.. "I will take you as my partner" Pointing at Jess. She delightedly agreed introducing herself as Jess touching Liam's hand, taking his breath away yet again.

They went on to win that next game in a serious overtime victory which brought them closer to one another in the spirit of competition as they'd both learn later on how serious of a competitor they both can become ... for better or worse :).

For the rest of the night they didn't leave either's side as they talked and laughed about each other's stories and aspirations in life. Finally Liam asked her a question he had been waiting to say all night, a question some people may find strange or nonsensical, but to Liam it was very important, it was a major determining factor that would decide for him whether a she was truly the one.

Now the details of that question will be kept between them but Liam will be happy to share it with you and laugh with you if you ask him but if you can guess it jess answered the question better then Liam could have ever imagined and he knew right then and there

"I am going to marry this girl"

Unfortunately for Jess, Liam kept this to himself for the next 6 years as they continued their journey together through college and the beginnings of their professional career.

From that moment Liam and Jess have built an amazing life together both graduating from college, buying their first home in 2020, which has been a labor of love; to starting their own "unconventional family" with their three fur babies Miley, Maverick and Raven.

Now finally tying the knot in September of 2024

These last 7 years has made Liam and Jess's relationship blossom and grow into a bond that is unbreakable, their love for one another is remarkable and everlasting.
