It all started when Leslie began frequenting a local Pilates studio in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Little did she know, Mackenzie's Aunt Candy (and godmother), had been attending the same studio. Aunt Candy had told the instructor (Emmy) how she wished her golden child Mackenzie would meet someone in PV so that he would come visit her more often. Emmy reached out to Leslie to see if she would be interested in going out to dinner with the nephew of a client. A blind date was a scary thought, but at that time COVID had just begun and Leslie had started graduate school that week! Why not..... Mackenzie picked Leslie up from her house (like a true gentleman, even though Leslie tried to just meet him there incase the date went wrong..haha) and off they went on their first date. Safe to say they both enjoyed their time together as they did not want the date to end! Mackenzie made it all official when he drove back to Ponte Vedra from Jupiter just two short weeks later to take Leslie out again. From there, Leslie and Mackenzie began a 2 year long distance relationship, before moving in with one another in May of 2022 in Jupiter, FL. A blind date turned into forever! We are so beyond grateful for those who made it all happen. Always take the chance, you never know who you might meet ;)
