Jack and Tia initially connected through Facebook dating, but little did they know that their meeting would blossom into something truly special.

At first, Tia was hesitant about Jack's appearance on camera with his glasses on, but as soon as they met in person, she was struck by his handsome features. She knew right then and there that she couldn't let him go.

Their first date was a trip to Ikea where they talked about their future, envisioning a life filled with love and joy. After dinner, they both agreed to keep seeing each other.

Despite living in different cities, Jack in St. Paul and Tia in Rochester, they were determined to make it work and build a beautiful life together.

Jack couldn't bear to spend a day without seeing his beloved Tia. He made sure to drive to her place at least once or twice a week, no matter how tired he was from work or how early he had to wake up the next day. He cherished every moment they spent together, sometimes even staying over for the night. And when he had to leave as early as 3am to make it to work by 6, he did it with a happy heart, knowing that he would see Tia again soon.

As time passed, Tia and Jack cherished every moment they could spend together. They longed to be by each other's side, and when they couldn't, they would spend hours on the phone, lost in each other's company. Their love for one another only grew stronger with each passing day.

Jack and Tia had become inseparable, like family, after spending a holiday together. In January of 2023, they went on a vacation to Phoenix, Arizona. On January 6th, Jack woke Tia up at 6 in the morning to climb Camelback Mountain. Although Tia was hesitant and unhappy about the climb, she agreed to go with Jack. Despite Tia's occasional complaints, they finally reached the top. It was there that Jack asked Tia to marry him
