Buffalo, NY

How We Met

Jacklyn's dear family friend, also known as Jake's Aunt Chrissy, orchestrated a serendipitous encounter by introducing them in a group message, urging them to become friends. Jacklyn, following Aunt Chrissy's advice, went to the restaurant where Jake worked to meet him, for her birthday dinner with her aunt. The connection was instant, so much so that the lights had to be turned on at closing time to encourage them to leave. Jake and Jacklyn took Aunt Chrissy's advice very seriously! They have been together ever since, and are ready for their happily ever after!
