Since meeting at Notre Dame Law School, Jackie and Dylan have been inseparable. Their first meal together was late night pizza at Vesuvio's (RIP), next to ND's "best" bar, Old Finnies'. After graduation, they spent two years apart, but were reunited for good when Dylan moved to Chicago in September of 2019.

Without even realizing it, Dylan proposed exactly 5 years to the date that Jackie & Dylan's love story began. It occurred to Dylan that there was no more appropriate place to propose to Jackie than the kitchen of their Chicago home, which they purchased in March of 2020, approximately one week before the COVID-19 pandemic. After spending nearly every minute together in that house for six months, nowhere else would have felt right.
