Jack & I met in 2021 when we were in college. After talking for a while & hanging out with friends, I being the impatient person I am, asked Jack when he was finally going to take me on a real date. Jack threw around a few ideas, including mini-golf, which I’m not particularly fond of, and turned down. Jack ended up saying he’d plan something, but left it as a surprise. What he didn’t know was that I’m not really a fan of surprises either (yes, I’m a bit difficult). I got nervous & almost canceled the whole thing, but instead, I suggested we grab $3 tacos on a patio which Jack agreed to. I thought the date went well, but I later found out, that Jack thought I was not interested in him and almost called it quits. Luckily, I convinced him to give it another shot by insisting he meet my cat, Luna- our future children can thank her later. We started dating soon after this & spent more Tuesday nights than not, on that same patio over the next few summers. After almost three years together, Jack proposed at Foshay Tower on April 20th, 2024. This time, he had everything meticulously planned. While I may have spoiled the surprise, I definitely didn’t ruin the moment—it was truly so sweet. Now, here we are, over four years in, and things just keep getting better. We’re beyond excited to get married and celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
