Kirsten and Jesse met in 2005 while attending the School of Visual Arts MFA Design. One night, at a talk about the art of Gary Panter, they bumped into each other and the sparks started flying. Shortly after, while at school where they were both making fancy, fancy art, Jesse finally got up the nerve to ask the lovely Kirsten out for a date. Thier first date was to a play called "Tupperware Massacare." After Kirsten did not go screaming into the night, both knew it was true love. Kirsten graduated in the spring of 2005 and Jesse graduated the following spring. Their travels together to Italy and Germany and sealed the deal. On Halloween night 2007, Jesse finally got up the nerve to ask Kirsten to marry him. After many kisses, hugs, and screams of joy, Kirsten finally said "Yes" and then they went out to eat steak. They both cannot wait to get married, make more fancy art together and eat many more steak dinners.
