we're getting married!

Butch and Jeanette first met as freshman at Penn State where they both worked part-time as referees for the intramural sports department. Over the next few years, Butch and Jeanette's paths continued to cross with shared business classes, similar social circles, and with both of them being promoted to IM Sports Supervisors where they continued to spend more time together. Co-workers grew into a friendship, a friendship turned into a relationship by March of 2017. Butch moved to Baltimore for a job in accounting after graduation and the rest is history...

It's a beautiful spring Saturday morning and Butch asks Jeanette if she wants to go on a "picnic" to Cylburn Arboretum. If you know Butch well, he does not wake up early on Saturdays and he does not plan "picnics," so this was the first red flag. He then proceeds to go to the store to get an entire spread of fruit, sandwiches, chips, and a small bouquet of flowers (second red flag) Butch decides to shower and put on nice khaki shorts and a casual shirt (third red flag) whereas Jeanette thought there would be physical activity like walking or riding bikes. There were butterflies in the air between the two as Butch was planning to ask the biggest question of his life and Jeanette was wondering what in the world had gotten into him that morning. They walked around the grounds and found a secluded bench in the shade of a giant oak tree. Butch got down on one knee and of course, Jeanette said yes! They are so excited to get married and celebrate with their family and friends as they enter into this next chapter of life.
