Jessie and Anthony's love story began at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, where they both pursued the Visual Communications program. Their connection ignited when Anthony spotted Jessie's photo during their Zoom class and texted his mom about how smitten he was. Overhearing Jessie's struggle in their coding class, Anthony cleverly initiated a study group as a pretext to get to know her better. As other classmates gradually dropped out, the two found themselves engrossed in deep conversations that lasted well into the night. Their bond flourished swiftly, leading to an official relationship launch on December 26th, 2021. Throughout their college journey, they tackled challenges together and proudly graduated with degrees in graphic design. United by their shared interests in travel, art, music, and a mutual sense of humor, they felt like kindred spirits. On June 22nd, 2023, Anthony orchestrated a touching proposal, revisiting the very spot where their romance began—Hills and Dales Park in Kettering. Positioned beside the spot where they had lovingly carved their initials during their first date, Anthony asked the pivotal question, signaling the commencement of a new, exciting chapter in their lives. Filled with anticipation and joy, Jessie and Anthony eagerly await their upcoming wedding day, excited to celebrate their enduring love with their cherished friends and family.
