We met at an Al Maseer event in February 2018. We became friends and had fun getting to know each other and all the things we have in common....especially being bougie foodies. During the pandemic we grew closer, enjoying time at the Rockaway beach house and the home in the Yaphank woods. July 4, 2020 we host our first fourth of July gathering and now each year we look forward to spending the holiday with family and friends. On August 8, 2022, Charlotte Jane arrived and gave us the new title of parents. While celebrating the "push gift" of Usher concert tickets in Las Vegas, Bernard proposed in front of the Bellagio fountain. Now, we preparing to start our next chapter as husband and wife on July 4, 2024 in Miami, Florida. Al Maseer means destiny in Arabic, so from the beginning we were destined to be Jean!
