let's celebrate!

It was a cool evening in late January when Jack drove to Christine’s apartment to pick her up for their first date. Christine smiled with her eyes, slipped in a joke about finally meeting and luckily didn’t seem to notice just how nervous Jack was. On the drive over to Alba - the local italian restaurant that the couple would make one of their regular places - after a few failed parallel parking attempts followed by a few bad excuses about it being a new car, they used the valet and started what was about to be an amazing 8 hour date. Jack and Christine immediately knew they had something special, and anticipated many dates along the way in getting to know each other. It was after a short 4 dates that the pandemic limited their options, which led to lots of date nights playing cribbage and their own creation of ‘never have I ever’ charades. Although this was a challenging time for many, Jack and Christine’s relationship benefitted by connecting over shared values, which they discovered through quiet nights in. Jack and Christine didn’t take long to start building a life together. They bought a home in East Bridgewater and took in a beautiful baby boy (puppy) Franklin who made them more than just a couple, he made them a family.

Jack and Christine had made a habit of planning unique and fun dates for each other, so it didn’t come as a surprise when Jack planned a beach photoshoot. On September 29th the day was finally there. After posing for a few pictures at Burke’s Beach, Jack got down on one knee and asked Christine to be his person forever and she said yes while she ugly cried (see below!). Jack and Christine are excited to celebrate in front of family and friends on 10-8-2022
