We met for the first time outside a bar in Philadelphia on one of the first warm weekends of the year, after what felt like an endless winter. The city was alive with energy. So many people were out, the Philly Elmo and his band were drumming through the streets, beer gardens were packed, and there was this exciting buzz in the air that made the day feel even more special. We were both a little nervous, but once we saw each other and started talking, the nerves melted away. It didn’t feel like a first date, it felt easy. Like we’d known each other for much longer than we had. That summer of 2019 became one of our favorites. We explored Philly hand-in-hand—bar-hopping, trying new foods, making each other laugh until we cried, and slowly building something real. We bonded over our love of movies, travel, and food...but more than anything, we just loved being around each other. From spontaneous road trips and late-night movie marathons to quiet nights in, every moment brought us closer. The more we learned about each other, the more we knew we’d found something rare and something we didn’t want to let go of. Then came February. It was Paul’s birthday, and it felt like the perfect moment. Surrounded by love and the setting of our favorite spot in the city, he got down on one knee and asked Jasmine to marry him. From that first swipe to this moment, our journey has been filled with laughter, adventure, and a whole lot of love. We’ve grown together, supported each other, and built a life that means everything to us. Now, we’re so excited to share this next chapter with all of you. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
