Jamie and Jonathan found each other's profiles on Hinge connecting just days before the 2020 election. Little did they know, this chance meeting would spark the beginning of their journey together.

Jamie, intrigued by Jonathan's profile, extended an invitation to a block party in Midtown, and Jonathan, drawn by Jamie's charm (according to Jamie), accepted. As they enjoyed the festive atmosphere, their conversations that night sparked mutual interest and intrigue leading to a future date. Their second date was marked not only by their connection but also by Jonathan's willingness to venture into the unknown food wise. Despite Jonathan's picky eating habits, he eagerly accepted Jamie's invitation to share VEGAN pumpkin chili, a sign of his growing interest (If you know Jonathan this is HUGE).

But fate, with its playful twists, intervened. A few weeks later, at a small Christmas cookie decorating party, Jonathan discovered he was an unexpected addition to the table, despite Jamie mentioning they were aware he would be coming. Feeling a tad awkward after the surprise, Jonathan was quieter than usual. Due to that night, Jamie initially thought Jonathan was 'too nice' for him, they drifted apart briefly, with Jamie feeling uncertain about the developing connection. However, fate had other plans. A few weeks later, Jamie reached out, and they decided to give their connection another chance. This led to a stroll through Piedmont Park, and a memorable New Year's Eve celebration where their relationship truly began to take off.

Their relationship blossomed amidst shared walks and conversations about dreams, aspirations, and their shared love of a grilled cheese sandwich (However Jonathan has only seen Jamie eat only maybe 3 over their entire relationship). One standout memory etched in their minds is Jamie's trip to Italy, where he left love notes scattered around their home for Jonathan to discover, a testament to their deepening bond despite the distance. Travel became one of their big shared passion, weaving unforgettable adventures across cities and countries. From the lively streets of New Orleans to the stunning landscapes of Portugal, they have traveled the world together, and have even made it a tradition to eat Italian cuisine on each trip they take.

Their journey began with a simple conversation on Hinge, setting the stage for a remarkable relationship. From that moment, Jamie and Jonathan have embarked on countless adventures, each one strengthening their bond. As they look forward to the future, they are grateful for the love and support of their family and friends, who have been an integral part of their journey.
