A Teenage Love:Middle school can be an awkward time for adolescents. For Baltimore natives Sandra Lemon and Kevin Jones, it was the beginning of a modern-day storybook romance. The duo met in sixth grade and enjoyed a typical preteen courtship. “He was my first little boyfriend but we started to lose touch in high school,” says Sandra. Kevin reveals, “I would walk my dog in the neighborhood where she used to live. She moved away from that area years prior but I still went to see if I could catch a glimpse of her. She crossed my mind a lot and I couldn’t figure out why.”

Amazing Race: Once Kevin decided to ask Sandra for her hand in marriage, he created a scavenger hunt of sorts, taking Sandra to places near their home that were significant to the relationship before finally popping the big question. “She is absolutely addicted to The Amazing Race so the concept wasn’t hard,” says Kevin.
