Juan was in MCRD San Diego training Recruits to be Future Marines. Jessica was in Maryland. So they had a long distance relationship for 1.5 years. Jessica had to travel a lot to meet Juan, sometimes for just a few short hours during the whole trip. However, it means the world to both of them to be able to see each other, face to face, and not just hearing voice or seeing video image on Skype.<\/p>\n<p>This was why they wanted to do the engagement session at Reagan National Airport in Washington DC. Traveling had been a big part of their relationship.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Jessica-Juan-Engagement-0332.jpg\" alt=\"Engaged couple holding hands showing diamond engagement ring and suitcase tag.
