Our story began in the halls of Kistler at Grand Valley State University in 2010. Jeremy was visiting his cousin who lived across from Jess in the dorms. Jeremy claims he thought he was going to marry Jess the first time he saw her. Jess and Jeremy's cousin became best friends, so he saw a lot more of her at Martin family gatherings....and even had to share his birthday cake with their birthdays being two days apart! Fast forward a few years to when Jess was finishing grad school and Jeremy was working in Kalamazoo. The two reconnected and the rest is history!
