We first crossed paths in 2015 on Avalon Beach through mutual friends, but it wasn’t until the summer of 2021, at the Ocean Drive, that our story truly began. What started as a reconnection quickly grew into something more. Our first date was at Juno, a little taco spot in Fairmount, Philadelphia, and from that night on, everything began to fall into place. Some of our favorite milestones as a couple include our first trip together to St. John, followed a few months later by Savannah, GA. We adopted our first cat, Gugu, and soon after became proud “foster fails” with our second cat, Tulip. In August 2023, we moved into our Taylor Street home and, not long after, embarked on our first big international adventure! A 16-day journey through Portugal and Italy. Each memory has built upon the last, weaving together the story of us. On December 28, 2024, the next chapter began. With the help of Jess's three best friends, Carter surprised her after brunch with flowers and a “Will You Marry Me” sign waiting at home. That evening, the celebration continued with friends and family at Boathouse Row which was an unforgettable night filled with love and joy. Now, we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our greatest adventure yet with all of you!
