It was the second night of their semester abroad in Galway, Ireland when Haley and Jason both happened to be at a local Irish Pub listening to live music. Haley was next to the band dancing when she locked eyes with a boy in the crowd...that boy was Jason. Not too long after that Jason was at the bar buying Haley and her friends shots. A few days later Haley and Jason met again when they both ended up on the same tour bus to the Cliffs of Moher. On Valentine's Day Jason asked Haley on their first date, a Hurling match followed by a walk on the Salthill promenade. Over the course of the semester Haley and Jason become inseparable exploring Ireland and traveling around Europe together.

Haley was very excited to show Jason Maine on their trip out East in June 2021. As a child Haley had spent the summers exploring Maine with her family and later as a Camp Counselor during her summer breaks from College. Jason realized this trip would be the perfect opportunity to pop the question in a place that held a special place in Haley's heart. When exploring the Portland Head Lighthouse Jason pulled Haley aside onto a cliff overlooking the ocean and got down on one knee. Haley immediately said yes! Jason proposed with Haley's great-grandmother's ring. They spent the rest of the day celebrating at the many delicious local Portland breweries.
