Jack and Toni met at the farmer's market in Green Bay, Wisconsin... twice. Every Wednesday, Green Bay's downtown is home to a farmer's market filled with food, beer, flowers, and live music. Toni went to the farmer's market with a mutual friend of Jack's who originally introduced the couple which led to Jack getting Toni's phone number after using his (apparently only) pickup line - "I'm Jack Messenger, Green Bay's most eligible bachelor." To which Toni replied, "That's Aaron Rodgers." The live music & drinks got the best of the bachelor that night, as one week later the couple returned to the scene of the crime unplanned. Jack was now the one there with mutual friends and Toni was with her sister and cousin when Jack came up to Toni and says.. (you guessed it) "Hi, I'm Jack Messenger, Green Bay's most eligible bachelor." To which Toni responded, "That's Jaire Alexander" and reminded Jack to check his contact list from the week prior! ..& the rest is history
Jack and Toni mutually shared a favorite memory with each other prior to the proposal. When asked about our favorite date together, taking a train through the mountains of Vail, Co while it was snowing, took the cake every time. Exactly one year later, Jack took Toni back to Vail. However, this time rented a log cabin nestled in the mountains and filled it with her family and friends. Jack got down on one knee on the same train ride & she, of course, said yes.
