Cory and Jamie first met in July 2010, when Jamie's cousin Dave invited her to a get-together at Cory's brother Mike's house. After that, they would say hello in passing and exchange jokes here and there, until they wound up carpooling to a party in Ewing in March of 2011. At the party, Jamie discovered that Cory shared her love for vanilla rum, and happily depleted his supply for the evening (oopsies!). They spent most of the evening getting to know each other, and have been basically inseparable since.

After six happy years together, Cory found a shiny object that he thought Jamie would like and scheduled delivery for a day when Jamie had a work conference and was supposed to get home late in the evening. Imagine Cory's surprise when Jamie called just before 4pm that she got out early and was on her way home. Cory was still waiting for FedEx to arrive, and they ended up beating Jamie home by a whole 20 minutes! By the time Jamie got home, the ring was burning a hole in Cory's pocket, so he suggested they grab dinner together at The Old Causeway, their favorite restaurant. Jamie was thrilled at the idea of not cooking dinner, and so off they went to eat way too much steak. After dinner they swung over to walk on the beach for a little bit (presumably to walk off the meat sweats), when Cory dropped to one knee and asked Jamie her thoughts on hanging out together for the rest of their lives. Jamie happily accepted, and the two of them excitedly rushed off to share the happy news with their families.
