Jesse: Our story began in February of 2019 when we were just 18 and 19 years old. We were first introduced through our cousins but didn't think much of it at the time...we were just hanging out. Fast forward a few months, Sean came home for the summer, as he was already attending Purdue University in West Lafayette. We then reconnected, which quickly began our daily interactions throughout May. We were really starting to like each other, but then Sean had to leave for an 8-day family trip.

Sean: Throughout my entire trip, Jesse was all I could think about. As much as I enjoyed the vacation, I couldn't have been more ready to come back home to her. When I returned, I learned that she missed me just as much and from there, we knew we were forming an unbreakable bond. A few short days later, Jesse graduated high school and that night, we made our relationship official. June 7th, 2019 marks one of the greatest days of my life and I couldn't be more thankful.

Jesse: The summer of 2019. I don't think we spent a minute apart. Lol. I made that man come with me EVERYWHERE, even when I was walking dogs around the community to make some quick cash. I remember taking him on a road trip with my family to meet more family, while we had only been dating for a month or two. We were quite literally inseparable. Then, the end of summer came and I was off to college at the University of Indianapolis. Although our universities were only separated by an hour and a half drive, being together every day to suddenly only seeing each other on the weekends was a tough transition for us. It got easier over time, but then the pandemic hit and we didn't see each other for awhile, which began an even harder transition. As always though, we turned every obstacle into an opportunity for growth, which only continued to make our relationship stronger.

Sean: After 4 more years of love, endless support, and some serious maturing, I knew that I had found the love of my life. So, I proposed on June 3rd, 2023. Now we are excited to start this new chapter together and we hope that all of you will join us on our special day.
