Like many modern romances, our story started online. It was Valentine's Day 2014, when we both swiped right on the app for true romantics, Tinder. True to her form, Jackie didn't want to do things traditionally. Instead, she preferred to make those around her feel uncomfortable and alive. She insisted we send short snapchats to one another, to get to know each-other better. After weeks of playful banter, laughter, and a selfie or two....we decided to finally meet. We first met outside of Public House, in Downtown Chicago, on the corner of State and Kinzie. Rick arrived second, only to discover he was at the back of a long line, waiting to get inside on a cold winter night. He spotted Jackie down the sidewalk, near the front. They locked eyes, exchanged smiles, and awkwardly waved at one another. Rick remembers seeing Jackie's smile for the first time, a smile so big, it seemed to make the whites of her eyes disappear into her happiness. Jackie began talking to the bouncer, smiling, and pointing at Rick. It appeared she was in the middle of some sort of negotiation. Whatever Jackie was saying, the bouncer certainly got a great chuckle out of it. Jackie's conversation had ended and she made her way toward the back of the line. We finally met and gave each-other a first embrace. After hellos, Rick decided to ask Jackie, "So what were you saying to the bouncer?" Now I can't repeat what Jackie said in that moment, but I can tell you it was enough to make Rick burst into laughter and know that he was in trouble...BIG trouble. It's not every day you meet someone that makes you weak in the knees and sore in the belly from laughter. Over 7 years later, we are still laughing with each-other every day. It has been a journey together, filled with late nights, ugly dance moves, laughter, tears, good times and bad, growing up (but not too fast), and love....so much love. We are stoked to celebrate our love with each and every one of you. See you soon, y'all!
