Kanaan and Jessica's Downtown Spokane Engagement

Kanaan and Jessica have a super unique story - very much so, in fact. They met in person. Yes, in real life! No app was involved, no swiping, just two friends named Will and Grace. Jessica and Kanaan were one friend away from meeting for a while, but initially things like both being in a relationship slowed it all down (naturally). But they would finally meet at a Denny's for brunch. No sparks flew. No numbers were exchanged. They met, they ate, and they left (Kanaan was still in a relationship at the time).

Nothing happened. But fast forward a couple months and Kanaan would be out of a relationship and they would find themselves at a birthday party. It was here they would really start to notice each other. Jessica, in wanting a way to keep talking to Kanaan, gave him an opportunity to give his number to her by getting a "snap" of everyone at the party. When it got to Kanaan (last, conveniently) he took it upon himself to have her follow him. He then "happened" to want her to share the snap with him via text, which meant she "had" to have his number.

Thus, they started talking - and not long after - dating. No official titles, just spending time together. For SIX MONTHS.

Yeah.

In the end it was because they were both on the same page but THOUGHT they weren't on the same page. In other words, Kanaan thought Jessica didn't want a relationship (when she did) and so he never asked her.

It wouldn’t' be until they finally talked it out on Valentines day that they would discover where things went wrong, and less than a week later Kanaan would make sure Jessica was his official girlfriend.

The rest is history really, and now they are married! Just last week I had the chance to be there for their wedding, and now I have the chance to share their engagement photos and story! Two people who met in person because of two great friends.
