Our story begins the way all great modern romances do: with an accidental stalking and a voice memo about Cyrano de Bergerac. It was March 3rd, 2022, when we officially matched on Hinge. But long before that, Jennie had unknowingly been admiring Davey from afar. Thanks to an AMC A-List membership (peer pressured by her roommates, naturally), she kept catching glimpses of the same gorgeous guy running the box office at their local theater, AMC Lincoln Center, for two long months prior to that fateful day. Every time they rushed in, tickets already in hand, she'd think "Wow, he's gorgeous- annnnnnnnd we’re late!" No time to chat. No idea how to meet him. Just a quiet crush on the man behind the counter. Fast forward to March 2nd. After a midnight screening of Cyrano, Jennie randomly updated her Hinge voice memo. The new prompt? “What are you looking for in a partner?” Her answer: “A Cyrano de Bergerac — someone who can keep up with me. Quick-witted, crazy-intelligent... or I’m swiping left.” The next morning, she woke up to 42 likes. Like #12? The hot guy from the box office. But he didn’t react to her photos. He commented on the voice memo. She immediately messaged, “OMG you’re the hot guy from the box office!” Ten seconds later: “Well, I think you just made my decade.” "Well great, since I know you're not a serial killer, tell me about yourself." “Well, I used to work for Disney for ten years.” That was all it took — three messages in — for Jennie to know. And in that moment, something clicked. Jennie didn’t just feel butterflies — she felt certainty. As a former Cast Member herself, she knew exactly what that job meant. To work for Disney, and stay for that long — especially in leadership — said everything she needed to know about his character. In just ten words, she understood his heart: that he was kind, gentle, safe, loving, honest, respectful, responsible, and rooted in strong values. She’d grown up telling her grandmother, “If his last name isn’t Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, or Disney, I don’t want him.” Well… she found her Disney (and her Rockefeller, too, but that's just an added bonus!) In that one sentence, she saw the man she’d been waiting for. She knew right then and there that one day, this man was going to be her husband. And she was right. Three days later, after not hanging up the phone once for 72 hours straight — even during work hours (don’t tell our bosses) or while we were asleep — something shifted. While talking about our mutual obsession with Disney, we started jokingly tossing around the idea of what our future would look like and what we planned and dreamed of, including the idea that Davey had always dreamed of getting married in Disney World ever since he was in elementary school. But even through the jokes, Davey felt something very real. He saw how fiercely Jennie loves and protects her family — especially her younger brother — and in that quiet, soul-level moment, he realized he was already in love with her. He wanted those future dreams and plans to be more than someday. So he said, “You know, I can't believe I'm saying this so soon, but I think I’m in love with you. I've never felt so safe with someone before in my life. Also, how would you feel about getting married in Disney one day?” We picked the venue that night: Walt Disney World or Bust. Three years, two Disney trips, one East Village apartment, and a pair of dream jobs later... Davey kept that promise. And now, it’s finally time to say “I do.” "You may now get married." -Bluey •

Back in January 2025, we heard the news: MuppetVision 3D was closing. Jim Henson’s final work with the Muppets—the last attraction he ever touched—was being retired on the 70th anniversary of the Muppets themselves. We were heartbroken. Disgusted. Enraged. Even before we were engaged, we knew the Muppets would be a huge part of our wedding. They’ve always held a special place in our hearts, and for Jennie—who’s a certified Muppet performer—they’re family. So when the closure was announced, Davey had a moment of defiant, righteous fury and declared: “We’re flying to Disney. We’re taking our engagement photos in Muppet Courtyard. I don’t care what it takes.” And it took everything. Because of Jennie’s work schedule and blackout dates, we couldn’t go until the very last week before the ride’s closure. Then, the day after our engagement, Davey got a new job—and suddenly, we had only 48 hours to make the whole thing happen. First, we had to get permission to take the photos. Muppet Courtyard wasn’t an approved location, so we started calling. And calling. For five weeks, we spoke to just about every department at Walt Disney World, trying to get someone to say yes. Finally, with just two weeks to spare, we got the green light. Now we just had to… ✓ Book the flights ✓ Book the hotel ✓ Buy park tickets ✓ Secure the earliest PhotoPass session possible ✓ Find Jennie’s dress ✓ Find Davey’s suit ✓ Navigate shipping delays, tariffs, and post-holiday retail chaos ✓ Remember to pack enough sunscreen to not fry like an egg in the Florida heat ✓ Finish packing... 30 minutes before leaving for the airport And then: —Flight delayed by over an hour —Bags were held on the plane for over 90 minutes due to lightning in the area —Checked into the hotel at 8:00 PM the night before the shoot —Running on 4 hours of sleep and a pipe dream —Full-blown panic attack: engaged —And of course… it poured. Jennie was crushed. The sky cried with her. Davey looked out across the endless walkway toward the entrance to Hollywood Studios and quietly said, “It feels like the heavens are crying. It feels like Jim is crying with us.” But then, when the photos were finished, and we looked back at what we had achieved, we realized that somehow—miraculously—it all came together. That day reminded us of something simple and real: We can handle anything together. Rain. Delays. Deadlines. Tariffs. Closing attractions. We bring out the color in one another—even on the grayest of days. And in that storm, we learned something about love: It’s not about waiting for perfect conditions. It’s about finding the joy, laughter, and light in spite of the muppet hijinx life throws at us. In the words of Jim Henson and the entire Muppet family: “Days go passing into years, Years go passing day by day She'll make him happy Now and forever Until forever Their love will grow She only knows He'll make her happy— That's all she needs to know.” – He’ll Make Me Happy, The Muppets Take Manhattan •
