It all started at a New Year’s party. Jess and Ken didn’t know it yet, but their fates were about to collide in the most unexpected way. They were both at a crossroads in their lives—Jess was looking for love, and Ken was just living life. Little did they know, one small action by a mutual friend, Adele, would change everything. That party? Just a small moment in the grand scheme of things, but it set the stage for the beginning of a story that’s still unfolding.
Fast forward to their wedding day. Jess, dressed in a beautiful gown, stood by Ken’s side, ready to begin a new chapter together. What seemed like a random, blind setup was now a lasting, beautiful relationship. Their wedding was a true celebration of love, joy, and the kind of connection that only happens when two people find each other in the right moment.
And then, just a few years later, they experienced another monumental day: the birth of their daughter. The joy they felt when holding their little girl was overwhelming, a reminder of the family they were building together. Jess and Ken’s relationship wasn’t just about love—it was about creating a life, a family, and memories they would cherish forever.
But their story doesn’t stop there. It’s the foundation of something bigger. Jess and Ken met through the help of their friend Adele, and now they’re on a mission to help others find love in the same way. This is the true story behind Jess, Meet Ken.
Adele’s Clever Idea
Once upon a time, Ken’s best friend, Adele, had an idea. She knew exactly what made Ken tick and what women would love about him. So, she took matters into her own hands and created a witty, honest profile for Ken on a dating site. She wasn’t just matchmaking; she was setting up her best friend for success.
Meanwhile, Jess, a smart, funny, and ambitious woman looking for love, spotted Ken’s profile. Intrigued, she reached out to Adele to learn more about him. Adele was quick to respond. She knew, right away, that Jess and Ken were a perfect match. In fact, she was so confident that when Jess messaged her, Adele immediately forwarded the message to Ken with the subject line: “Holy $#!& it’s your wife!”
True story. Jess and Ken hit it off immediately. They exchanged messages, and what started as an introduction from a friend blossomed into something much deeper. A few years later, they were married, and now they have three beautiful little girls, a happy family, and a love story they cherish every day.
The Emails That Sparked It All
The true magic of Jess and Ken’s story lies in the emails they exchanged, thanks to Adele’s matchmaking. Here’s a glimpse of how it all began, in their own words:
Jess’s First Email to Adele:
“I guess it’s no more random than blind dating, so I think I’ll try it. The guy you recommended has a great smile and sounds fun to be around. But before I email him, I wanted to ask if you think I’m his type too. I’m 25, 5’6″, petite, brown hair, green eyes, and my job doesn’t give me a lot of vacation time!”
Adele’s Response:
“TOTALLY you should write him. In fact, you are eerily his type! He’s a great guy—funny, easy-going, and a blast to hang out with. Let me know if you want more scoop!”
Jess’s Next Message:
“Thank you! I just want to know if he’s someone who values personality over looks, and if he’s comfortable with himself. I want to be myself around him, and I need to know that he’s not just interested in my looks!”
Adele’s Reassurance:
“You just described him perfectly. He likes a cute girl, but way more importantly, he appreciates someone with a great personality. He’s super secure with himself, no cockiness. He’s driven and appreciates ambition, just like you. Definitely get in touch!”
And with that, Jess and Ken’s story truly began.
