Jenn and Randy first met in 2016 after matching on Tinder. Randy reached out to Jenn and asked to go see a movie at the Newport theater. They stayed up all night talking to one another and went to Waffle House for breakfast the next morning. After about a year of dating, they realized they were at different points in their lives, and the distance between college and Randy's home made it hard to see each other regularly.
5 years later, Jenn moved back to Cincinnati and they reconnected after a kayaking trip. It felt like time hadn't passed. Every weekend they were together, enjoying their time with one another.
4 months into their relationship, Jenn found out she was pregnant. While it was a shocking time in their life, they had each other to lean on and they were so excited for what the future held.
July 15th, 2022, one day after Jenn's birthday, she gave birth to their baby boy, Charles Wesley Soto. He was the center of their universe, and they were elated with a new baby in their life. They learned a lot about parenthood together; they struggled, they cried, they laughed (lots of laughing), they loved one another deeply, and learned lessons about partnership and compromise. They were an inseparable team and everyone could see it.
Knowing from the start that they were meant for one another, they spoke a lot about their future and what it looked like. Marriage had always been on their minds, but when was the "right" time? In April 2024, Randy proposed to Jenn during a beach photo shoot in the Cayman Islands. Their future was finally starting to unfold.
