It was the summer before college, Jessica was ready to enjoy her last summer before moving to Buffalo and starting a new life! However, little did she know, a last minute decision to attend a house party would lead her to meeting her future husband. As she walked into the party, she chatted with the usual crowd until a particular man playing DJ caught her eye. He had taken over the music and was getting ready to play The Twist by Chubby Checker, challenging her to the fact that people will actually dance to it. Jessica loved this mans funny character, mohawk and no eyebrows. The rest, as they say, is history. Jessica and Brendan spent the summer together, agreeing to do long distance. Jessica attended Buffalo University while Brendan finished out his last two years at Oneonta State. They spent 2 years being 4 hours apart from each other, then another 2 years being 6 hours apart from each other after Brendan had graduated. After Jessica had graduated and moved home, they decided to move in together in the spring of 2019. In the fall of 2022, Brendan had made it official by proposing on top of the mountain in their small town they have grown to love over the past 3 years.
