In Fall 2021, Jack and Joanna met when they both started working in their old office in Haslet, TX. Jack, the Ohio import, and Joanna, who had recently moved from California, did not know at the moment that they were meeting the person who they would spend the rest of their lives with. Despite the magnetic pull between them, both Jack and Joanna treaded lightly, mindful of their careers and mutual respect.

But fate had other plans. A few months later, Jack shared his secret crush with Marc, while Joanna spilled hers to Scott, unknowingly setting the stage for their romantic rendezvous. Scott, the undercover Cupid, nudged them together. After an Instagram request and multiple days of chatter, they decided to go on their first date.

Their first date was a night of never-ending conversations, uncovering shared interests like pieces fitting snugly into place. Turns out, they not only shared a love for hiking, concerts, exploring new cities, and desserts but also shared a birthday month. Not too long into their relationship, they found a passion in building Lego sets together.

Fast forward to a chilly February day in 2024, when Jack whisked Joanna away to Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills, OH. Amidst the beauty of nature, he popped the question, turning a simple hike into a life-altering moment.
