More on Jerred & Kiara Mason

We met over 8 years ago and it was at the perfect time. Jerred had settled back into the United States after 12 years in Japan and he had just finished his Bachelor’s degree and Kiara was preparing for her Master’s program. Kiara had travelled a bit but lived most of her life in Florida. What seemed like a dream connection turned into a wonderful reality. (Insert a brief time-lapse) We had a 3 week engagement and 3 weeks later we were married. That is the shortest version of this story every told. Ha!
