Jordan and Stephen first connected at a lively pool party in July 2022. A brief 10-minute conversation was all it took for sparks to fly, although neither knew what the future held. As time went on, their bond grew stronger.

Their adventures together took them to various places. They explored trails, became avid rock climbers and fitness enthusiasts, and spent evenings learning to cook gourmet meals at home. Jordan introduced Stephen to the comforts of family traditions, while Stephen opened Jordan’s eyes to the world of guitar music. Recently, they added barbecuing to their shared hobbies, perfecting the art of creating delicious meals together.

Their home became a lively and loving space. Jordan, a self-proclaimed dog person, learned to appreciate the quirks of cats and soon embraced the five cats in their household. Stephen's dog, Cali, also became a part of their family. Stephen welcomed Dezzy, Jordan’s dog, and their household grew even warmer as Dezzy and Cali became best friends.

In February 2024, Stephen proposed to Jordan in front of Jojo’s Shake Bar in Detroit, marking a pivotal moment in their journey. It was a spontaneous yet heartfelt proposal, and Jordan said yes without hesitation.

As they prepare for their wedding day, Jordan and Stephen reflect on the journey that brought them together. Their story is one of shared passions, a willingness to grow together, and an unwavering commitment to building a life full of love and adventure. They can’t wait to celebrate their love with family and friends and begin their next chapter as husband and wife.
