Jay and I first met at a Nationals game in Washington, D.C., in April of 2022. At the time, we both worked in Congress, and I decided to attend a baseball game happy hour that Jay had organized. Despite our Cubs and Cardinals rivalry, we somehow managed to trick each other into a first date. That year, we traveled to 12 states and several cities, including Charlottesville, where we shared countless laughs, meals, and unforgettable moments. Jay ended up proposing on April 26th, 2024, at the Clifton Inn. Charlottesville became a special place for us, so we knew we wanted to share it with our guests at the Clifton Inn. We chose this venue not only for its beauty but because it’s a place we can return to for anniversaries and future trips with friends and family. We are thrilled to be exchanging our vows this fall in front of our closest loved ones and to celebrate in a place that means so much to us. Thank you for your love and support. We can’t wait to share this special day with you. With love, Jacquelyn and Jay
