Growing up only 30 minutes apart in SE Michigan, we met over 500 miles away in Washington, DC. Jack likes to thank Jane for breaking her foot and being on crutches because it made it easier for him to identify her on their first date at Circa Foggy Bottom. Despite their rivaling colleges (Jane went to Michigan and Jack went to Michigan State), they have been together for 4 years now.

Our proposal occurred during the stay at home orders in Virginia, on April 22, 2020. We'd been isolated with one another 24/7 for 5 weeks at that time, and figured we could survive anything if we still loved each other after that. We had a cozy little proposal in our living room, which was perfect!

This pandemic has changed a lot of things and due to some of those changes, we ended up getting married in an extremely small (just us and the civil celebrant) wedding in the Bon Air Rose Garden in Arlington, VA in July. We still want to celebrate with our friends and family, so we will still be having our wedding celebration on May 15, 2021. We hope to see you there!
