It all started at a local gastropub across from the Capitol building in Madison, WI. Jackie was meeting friends for happy hour and Joe was finishing his day with a client, when Joe noticed Jackie and her friend staring at him. Little did he know they were having a debate about his stylish clothing and why he wasn't looking back as often as one of group would have liked. Turns out a 3rd member at the table knew Joe and decided to cut to the chase and called Joe over. So, Joe made his way over to their table with a bit of liquid courage asked the curly blonde (Jackie) why she had been staring at him for the last hour. Jackie's face turned bright red, they engaged in witty banter, and the rest is History! *Quick side note this location The Coopers Tavern is where Joe proposed to Jackie, directly in front of where they were sitting when they first saw each other.
