Our Wedding

Our story dates back to the end of the COVID-19 lockdown! Jessica and David were sick and tired of dating people who were immature and had little to no work ethic. When the COVID protocols began, due to gym restrictions, David started going to the gym early in the morning to beat the rush. At the gym he met a friend, Jason. Day after day, David and Jason would work out together and talk about life. Naturally, they began to talk about their love lives, or in David's case, lack thereof. David kept saying that he was still looking for the perfect someone. He hadn’t quite found her yet. Jessica helped Jason out here and there at his family farm, during the Summer and Fall during her free time. After listening to what exactly David was looking for in a partner, Jason had someone in mind! Being the matchmaker he is, Jason texted Jessica in the wee hours (wayyyyyy before she was awake) and asked if she was in fact still single and if so, could he give someone her number. Little did they both know, David and Jessica were exactly what they were looking for, the perfect opposites. From there, the rest is history!
