Our love story began in 2019, (but not really) since neither of us knew we would be engaged nearly four years later. Jeb lived in New York City and Hayley lived in Los Angeles. One Summer day in August of 2019, Jeb joined Kyle Parry, a mutual friend of the bride and groom, for a beach day in Venice Beach. Fast forward to February of 2021, Jeb and some of his closest friends did a month long snowbird trip out to Los Angeles, CA. At the time, Hayley was living in Laguna Beach, CA near her hometown close to family and friends. With Jeb and Hayley both being single, Kyle Parry was determined to introduce the two of them. However, Hayley did not want to drive an hour north to Los Angeles and Jeb did not want to drive "all the way down to Laguna Beach." Kyle was persistent and ultimately "tricked" Jeb into driving with him down to "Newport Beach" to meet up with Hayley and friends. On March 13th 2021, Hayley and Jeb re-met on the last day of Jeb's month long trip away from cold New York. His impression was that she is "So California" while Hayley thought "What's the point, he lives in New York." They agreed to keep in touch, and they both went their separate ways. As luck would have it, Jeb and Hayley did keep in touch and Jeb became a supportive friend during Hayley's career transition. On May 22nd, 2021 Hayley had an early birthday celebration with her best friends. Meanwhile, Jeb was in Hunter Mountain, NY with his closest friends. Hayley decided to to send a text to Jeb and by the grace of Jeb's wonderful friends, he reciprocated. Fast forward to June 9th, 2021 Jeb took a chance and flew out to California to visit Hayley. She greeted him at the airport ready for a fun planned weekend trip around Laguna Beach and Catalina Island. The rest is history. Jeb and Hayley began a long distance relationship with countless FaceTime hours, phone calls, plans on when they would see each other again, and of course a lot of "I miss you." Hayley moved to New York City on March 13th, 2022 and on March, 22nd 2024 Jeb proposed to Hayley at Liberty Park in front of family and friends. We are beyond excited to celebrate in Mexico during our infamous month, March, with our loved ones and where the weather will be 72° & sunny!
