Our Love Story
KJ and Jared met in February 2021 after they both swiped right on Bumble. Their first date was to Brother's Burger Joint with Game Terminal afterwards. She kicked his butt in pinball and set 2 high scores that night, leaving Jared wanting to see her again. Their story continued with many sporting events, concerts, and getting their first dog together, Biscuit. After 2 years of dating, Jared proposed on March 26, 2023 at Bridgestone Arena, pulling off the best surprise proposal.
