It all started once upon a time in a land far, far, away…
OUR STORY
A Place to Call Home
Some stories begin with a grand plan. Ours began with a simple swipe, a little bit of distance, and two people who quickly realized they had found something special in each other. Along the way, we found not only love, but our best friend, our partner, and a place to call home.
Oh my gosh, no, Jerry! This isn’t Star Wars—it’s our love story!
Okay, fine. It all started with a notification from Dil Mil: we had a match! I had seen Jency and was mesmerized by her eyes but never imagined she’d swipe right on me too.
Aww, and I swiped right because the first thing I noticed was his cute smile! We started talking and quickly realized we were on opposite sides of the country. I was in New Jersey, and he was in California.
I responded to the distance by saying, “That’s like what a 6-hour flight? No problem.”
I was so surprised! No guy had ever responded like that before. But there was something about our connection that made the distance feel worth it, so we decided to give it a chance.
A couple of weeks later, I flew out for our first date. We had dinner, laughed at a comedy club, and danced the night away at a rooftop lounge. It was one of the best dates we’d ever had—and the beginning of something neither of us wanted to let go.
From there, things moved quickly. Jerry met my family, I met his, and soon we were talking for hours every day. Somehow, despite the miles between us, we became inseparable.
During one of Jency’s visits to California, I planned a day at Disneyland and asked her to be my girlfriend after the World of Color show.
And, of course, I said yes! From Hawaii to New York to the Poconos, we filled our time together with adventures and memories. When clinicals started and I couldn’t visit as often, the distance got a little harder…
So, I made sure to visit every month.
A year later, in October, Jerry came to visit like usual. Except this time, he and my family were acting a little suspicious…
They surprised Jency with a trip to a mountainside lake, where I asked her to spend forever with me.
And, of course, I said yes! After finishing my clinicals the following May, I packed my bags and moved to California, turning our long-distance love into the life we had been dreaming about.
Through every mile, every visit, and every adventure, we’ve grown together and built a life filled with love, laughter, and memories. We are so thankful for everyone who has been part of our journey. Your love, kindness, prayers, and support have made this chapter even more meaningful.
Now, as we begin our next chapter together, we can’t wait to celebrate this love with all of you.
Let’s get ready to celebrate!
