Lucy and Jonathan met in Virginia Beach at the age of 11. Though their romance did not begin until 9 years later, when Lucy had moved 1,816 miles away with her family to Colorado and Jonathan slid into her DMs. They had not forgotten each other and through their mutual love of movies, music, the caloric serving size of a Moon Pie, and eventually each other, they started a long distance relationship.

Their first date was over Zoom. They spent the first three months talking over the phone until Jonathan flew to Colorado to visit Lucy over his spring break. The following two and a half years have been spent in seperate states, visiting each other as much as they could and playing chess online.

Here they are, demolishing the statistic that claims only 10% of long distance relationships end in marriage. Jonathan proposed to Lucy on February 16th, 2024, and now they begin their journey into marriage.
