Jamie Schendt was in his first year teaching after finishing his
master’s degree at UNC when he got a text message from a stranger. That stranger was Caleb Fernandez who met Jamie’s brother, Tim, the day before at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Raleigh. Tim thought Caleb might be a good match for Jamie. Jamie and Caleb agreed to meet up for a date, and they’ve been together ever since. Over Christmas 2016, the pair exchanged gifts in their Chapel Hill home. Caleb opened his last gift from Jamie – a new coat – and tried it on. When Caleb reached in the pocket, he felt something surprising – an engagement ring! Of course he said yes, and the couple shared their joy with family and friends later that afternoon. The ceremony and reception will take place on October 20, 2018, at Tandem in Carrboro. Jamie is now a teacher of five years at Carrboro High School, while Caleb works at FleishmanHillard in Raleigh.
