Jessica and Mike first met over ten years ago as colleagues, where they built a strong working relationship rooted in mutual respect, teamwork, and surviving even the most chaotic workdays together. A few years later, life brought them back together, and this time, something felt different. As they reconnected, they quickly realized how much they had in common, including a shared love of animals that would soon become a big part of their story. As their relationship began to grow, Jessica knew there was one very important man whose approval mattered most....Cooper. Thankfully, Cooper didn’t hesitate. He immediately approved of Mike, and the feeling was mutual. From that moment on, it was clear they were building something special together. About a year later, they welcomed Kayleigh into their lives, their sweet, wild, baby girl who made their little family feel perfectly complete (and just a little more chaotic in the best way). When the time felt right, Mike planned a moment Jessica would never forget at one of their favorite places, the Cleveland Museum of Art. In true Jessica fashion, Mike actually set the ring box next to her not once, not twice, but three times… and she still didn’t notice. Eventually, he had to make it a little more obvious, but when she finally realized what was happening, the answer was an easy yes. On October 31, 2026, they’ll make it official and begin their next chapter as husband and wife, surrounded by the people, and pups, they love most.
