Jessica and Mariah's love story began with a simple phone call. While searching for apartments in D.C., Jessica rang up the place where Mariah worked. The two didn't know it then, but that call was the start of something special. Mariah's laughter over the phone piqued Jessica's curiosity and made such an impression that Jessica decided to choose The Banks as her new home. Before long, they were chatting in person after Jessica moved in. Mariah was drawn to Jessica's adorable dog, Aiden, and their connection grew from there. As the world slowed down during the pandemic, their friendship blossomed into love. Now, they're writing the next chapter of their lives together, building a future full of love, laughter, and adventure.
