This tale begins in New York City, 2013. Tom and Jacqui first met through a group of blended high school and college friends who all landed in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Dubbed the Park Slope Family, the group evolved to be a tight-knit bunch with Tom and Jacqui developing a friendship. As apartment residents shuffled in the neighborhood, Tom moved from a few blocks away to directly above Jacqui where they shared a floor/ceiling. Their proximity literally and figuratively brought them closer together as they would go on runs in Prospect Park, attend music festivals around the city, see Broadway shows with the Colavecchio family (ask them about this side story), host dinner parties, and partake in other Brooklyn shenanigans. After neighborhood friends relocated, the two finally became roommates. Seasons went by and their friendship evolved. During one cozy winter it became clear that there was a spark between them and they have been together ever since. Tom proposed on the beach in the glow of a Costa Rican sunset, and Jacqui has never been more confident in any decision in her life. Tom & Jacqui are now back in the apartment where they first fell in love and are excited for all of life’s adventures to come as forever roommates. Thank you all for being part of the next chapter of our story.
