Jenna and Mitchell Brotherson’s unique love story began with an unexpected twist: Mitchell forgot about their breakup after a skiing accident. In February 2020, just one day after Jenna ended their relationship, Mitchell suffered a severe concussion at Beaver Mountain in Utah. Waking up disoriented, he had no memory of the breakup and called Jenna, thinking they were still together. Confused by his messages and acts of kindness, like bringing ice cream for her and her roommates, Jenna eventually felt a pull to reconnect.
As they spent more time together, Jenna realized Mitchell had completely forgotten their split, finding the situation both amusing and relieving. She explained the breakup to him, which he took in stride, remarking that to him, “we never weren’t together.” This newfound closeness led the couple to officially reconcile, and just five months later, they got engaged. They married in September 2020.
Reflecting on their journey, Jenna shared how the couple, both now 27, cherishes telling their story. At their wedding, Mitchell referenced his memory lapse in his speech, expressing gratitude for the second chance. Jenna described feeling as though “invisible strings” were always guiding them back together, making their journey a true testament to unexpected love.
