Most people think they met at the newspaper in Owensboro, KY, since Jacqueline was working there when Joseph took a position and moved north from Memphis. But the first time they met was actually at a mutual friend's home before a day at the park. Who knew grilling and touch football would lead to "I Do."
Jacqueline & Joseph were in Memphis for the weekend celebrating their 5th dating anniversary. It was a rainy day but Joseph suggested they continue their tradition of visiting the zoo when in town. They nearly had the place to themselves as they wandered through with their umbrella. While visiting the panda exhibit (their favorite) the zoo announced they were closing. Joseph stopped and pulled out a ring. He said he wanted to do this forever and popped the question.
