Our Story

Jed and I first met in Acting one class. After the teacher gave a short introduction he had us pair off for an exercise called the Mirror Exercise. This exercise allows you to hone in your observation skills and pay close attention to detail of your partner while mimicking each other perfectly. This can mean a facial expression to the slight bend of the finger. As you can imagine, this was awkward for two strangers. We both made quick introductions and nervously laughed our way through it along with our peers. After that we both saw each other more in the same classes due to our passion for theater. But it would be two years before our relationship would turn into a romantic one. I had just gotten out of a relationship and I didn't want to be in one, I wanted to go on dates with other people and explore. Jed has a different view of this. He felt butterflies at our first meeting in Acting 1. In those two years, our relationship grew from acquaintances, to friends, to best friends, to confidants- and just as Jed was giving up on trying to turn our relationship into something more, I was starting to fall for him. Discovering I felt something more for him the whole time. Sometimes all you need for something to grow is care, nurture, love, and most of all, patience.
