In February 2020, Jenna and Mitchell Brotherson’s relationship came to an end when Jenna, feeling overwhelmed, decided to break up. But fate had other plans. The very next day, Mitchell was in a skiing accident that caused a concussion—one so severe that he completely forgot they had broken up. With no memory of the breakup, he continued acting as if they were still together.

Jenna was surprised when Mitchell kept reaching out to her, thinking he might just want to stay friends. However, his actions told a different story. He brought ice cream to her and her roommates and continued being sweet and thoughtful. His genuine kindness and affection after the accident slowly reignited the spark between them, even though Jenna was unsure at first.

Eventually, Jenna reminded Mitchell about the breakup—but he didn’t remember it at all. Instead of being upset, he laughed, amazed at how things had played out. This surprising twist turned out to be a fresh start for them. They grew closer, and just five months later, Mitchell proposed. By September 2020, they were married, embracing the love that had found its way back.

Now, Jenna and Mitchell call their journey an “accidental second chance.” It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes, life gives us unexpected ways to rediscover love. Their story shows that even after heartbreak, kindness, fate, and a little forgetfulness can lead to a new beginning—and maybe even a happily ever after.
