Bailey and Jack’s story begins with a little luck of the Irish—and Jack and Joe’s very first Ahwatukee St. Patrick’s Day event. Although their parents had known each other for years, and they even shared mutual friends in high school, Bailey and Jack somehow never officially met. That all changed when Jack and his best friend (and now best man), Joe, decided to check out the St. Patrick’s Day celebration for the very first time. That night, Jack and Bailey finally met. Call it good timing, great friends, or pure Irish luck—but something clicked. At the time, Bailey and Jack were both busy with school at NAU and ASU, so their story paused… but not for long. After Bailey graduated from NAU and moved back home, she was able to spend more time with her best friend Erin—who also happens to be Jack’s sister. Erin was convinced from the very beginning that Bailey and Jack would be a perfect match, and she made sure the universe agreed. As Bailey and Jack got to know each other, they filled their time with dinner dates, movie nights, and weekends spent out with friends. In August of 2021, they officially started dating (although if you ask anyone in the family, they’ll tell you it felt official long before that). Two years later, Bailey and Jack took the next big step and moved in together—quickly becoming proud parents to their German Shepherd, Axel, who they love endlessly. Fast forward two more years, and Jack planned the perfect proposal. On October 18, 2025, at sunset, at the Top of the Rock restaurant in Tempe, he asked Bailey to spend forever with him—and she said yes. From Jack and Joe’s first St. Patrick’s Day outing to a lifetime together, Bailey and Jack are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people they love most!
