When we met in 2017 through mutual friends, we first found an instant connection at a concert in San Diego. We knew it was something different, something amazing, and we quickly found ourselves (John especially) hooked on each other. From there, we were inseparable, but both of us were too “cool” to jump in too quickly. Monique made it clear it was “nothing serious” to which John replied “it’s not like I’m trying to marry you.” And here we are! In all honesty, we have been best friends since the very beginning, experiencing everything we can in life together, building a future, spending our time traveling and taking care of two dumb dogs, and most of all… Excited to spend the rest of our lives together.
