"Stephanie, tell us honestly, would you go for AJ in a normal setting? Is he your type of guy?" Unfiltered host Jamie Otis asked when the topic of physical attraction was broached.
"No. I mean, we've lived a mile from each other in the city. We could've crossed paths," Stephanie replied.

Jamie was shocked to hear such a coincidence, and then Stephanie elaborated on the irony of their situation.
"Our favorite bar that we always go to is the same place, and we know the same bartenders, but we never saw each other," Stephanie revealed.
"Now did we cross paths and not notice each other because we weren't interested or did we really just never cross paths?"
When Stephanie and AJ met at the altar, however, there appeared to be instant chemistry and mutual attraction.
The couple quickly bonded over their similar sense of humors, and goals and values in life. For instance, both individuals are very career focused and love to travel.
