How we met

12-15-16

Bernie & Jenn met each other at a Boston marathon party in 2009. To this day, Bernie says Jenn was the only girl he remembered meeting at that party.. (though Jenn's still not sure what to believe). Fast forward a couple years and Jenn sees Bernie at a bar with some friends and tries to play it coy... (though Bernie still can not recall this moment and declares it fake news). Alas, four years later, in online dating world, Bernie swipes right & eventually Jenn swipes right.. only after three attempts at swiping left. Truth be told, deep down Jenn knew if she'd agreed to a date, it could very well be her last first date, ever. And on December 15, 2016 it was!

The proposal

10-13-19

Puppies.. That's all Jenn really remembers! Bernie, Jenn and her cousins Kim, Mark and friends took the boat out for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. After docking the boat outside of the restaurant, Bernie is smacking Mark on the butt alluding to video what is about to happen. Jenn is distracted by puppies on bikes, puppies in the park and next thing you know Bernie is down on one knee spewing out all the mushy stuff.. and with Mark's help it's all captured on video. She blacks out, cries hysterically and with resounding applause and loud cheers from everyone at the entire restaurant ecstatically declares yes! Though she's still waiting on that puppy, they are both so excited to celebrate with you this September!
