How We Met

He saved my life

As it turns out, our story started long before we ever knew it. Our moms became friends in middle school and stayed close through high school and college. When we were little, my mom even babysat Jack, and somewhere in our family scrapbooks are baby pictures of the two of us together. We were part of each others lives before either of us could walk or talk. As time went on, our moms lost touch, and so did we. For years, our paths never crossed. Then, fate stepped in. Years later, on a night out, I was walking into a bar while Jack was walking out. I may have been enjoying the night a little too much, and Jack quickly realized I probably needed a ride home. Being the amazing man that he is, he ordered me an Uber home and made sure that I got home safely. What could have been a brief encounter turned into something much more. I remember coming home from our first date and immediately calling my mom. I told her, "I'm going to marry this man." I quickly discovered that the person who felt so right was someone who had been apart of my story all along. From baby pictures to a chance reunion years later, our journey has come full circle. We're so grateful that life brought us back together, and we can't wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you.
