It started with a message, one that was a little unexpected and a little ridiculous, but something about it made Corinne smile. Jared had reached out on her food Instagram, @fosterthefoodie, and while they didn’t know it yet, that DM would change everything. They made plans to meet at DipCo on June 8, 2022. Corinne was late—so late that Jared told the bartender he didn’t think she was coming. But just as he was finishing his drink, in she walked, all smiles. They talked for hours, and by the end of the night, both of them knew something meaningful had just started. On the walk home, they exchanged numbers—or thought they did. A few minutes later, standing next to Pappagallo Boutique, Jared called her… and nothing happened. Corinne had accidentally given him the wrong number. Laughing, a little embarrassed, she corrected it. It was a small moment, but one that already felt like a story they’d tell someday. That summer was full of late nights, nacho paloozas, beach trips, and car karaoke. They met each other’s families and quickly started to build something that felt easy, fun, and real. On August 6, after a day with friends, they made it official. From the beginning, they’ve had an uncanny ability to know what the other needs without even asking. Whether it’s craving Cava at the same time or Corinne ordering nachos because she knows they’re Jared’s favorite, being on the same page just comes naturally. Their favorite dates are often the simple ones: long walks downtown with no real plan, just good conversation and each other’s company. They laugh until they cry, constantly. They’re each other’s best friend and biggest cheerleader. And while they don’t agree on everything (a fall wedding was never an option, Penn State football is sacred), they share the same values. The love stories in their lives, from both of their families, have shaped how they show up for each other: with respect, kindness, honesty, and the freedom to be their most authentic selves. They make each other feel seen, supported, and deeply loved—and they never stop finding ways to make each other smile. On September 27, 2024, Jared proposed in front of DipCo—right where it all began. Somehow, in the middle of usually-busy Market Alley, it was just the two of them. A quiet, perfect moment in the most unexpected place. The same spot that brought them together now marks the beginning of forever. Now, they’re counting down to May 24, 2026, ready to celebrate their love and commitment surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. They can’t wait to share this next chapter with you.
