It all started during a spring break trip to Panama City Beach, FL—a trip full of surprises. Stafa was there with Jordyn’s brother, Kyle, and some friends, completely unaware that Jordyn would be staying at the very same hotel. It wasn’t until we bumped into her in the pool, where she was hanging out with her friends, that the connection was made. That unexpected moment marked our very first meeting, though neither of us could have predicted what was to come.

Life pulled us in different directions after that spring break.

Stafa moved to Chicago, Jordyn stayed in Michigan, and eventually, she relocated to Ohio. Meanwhile, Jordyn’s mom, Bev, had been championing the idea of us as a couple, confident that we were meant to be.

When Stafa moved back to Michigan, fate stepped in again. We reconnected, and even though Jordyn was living in Ohio, we started dating long distance. It didn’t take long for us to realize Bev had been right all along.

From an unexpected meeting in a pool to navigating long-distance love, our journey has been full of twists, turns, and serendipity. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
