Jenni + Joey
Jenni and Joey first met during the Summer of 2021. The two crossed paths from time to time while socializing with mutual friends in Durham, NC. As encounters became more frequent, they began connecting over common interests of food, family, friends, and adventure. It was an instant match and Joey even leveraged Sawyer to seal the deal! A first date at a sushi bar quickly turned into a much larger story. The couple lived together in Durham, NC for a year and a half before moving to Summerland, CA to start their next adventure. They got engaged in November 2023, and now they’re getting married!
