Ainsley and Jeremy were both ready to call it quits with online dating when they matched with each other on the dating app Hinge. They both quickly realized through conversation that they had very similar morals and values. They shared stories about their pasts and grew to learn that they had similar experiences which further deepened their bond. It was at this point when they decided to plan a date so that they could meet and see how they would get along in person. A simple coffee date was originally in the works, but they decided to make it a dinner date instead. On May 27th, 2021, Jeremy and Ainsley met at the North Park Lounge in Murrysville, Pa where a few hours were spent talking away not even realizing how long they had been sitting there. Neither of them finished their meals because they were too caught up in great conversation and a lot of laughter and smiles. The date eventually came to an end and they both knew in that very moment that there was something very special between the two of them. They truly have been inseparable ever since.
While on a family vacation with the McIntires in Cape May, NJ, Jeremy surprised Ainsley with a beautiful engagement on the beach surrounded by family. It had been a few years since their last family vacation, so an evening was planned for everyone to head down to the beach for some family photos. Little did Ainsley know that this wasn’t really the reason for heading to the beach. Jeremy had everything planned out and Ainsley’s family was in on the whole surprise. Jeremy had talked to Ainsley’s parents to ask permission, her sister, Kendra, was on board to snap the shots, and Ainsley’s brother-in-law had the ring in his pocket the whole time. Once the family arrived at the beach, Ainsley’s sister instructed the couple to stand back a bit so she could figure out how to frame everyone in the family photo. It was then that Jeremy started to propose to Ainsley. She was still oblivious to what he was about to do, but was so caught up in listening to all of the things Jeremy was saying that she didn’t even notice her brother-in-law sneaking up behind Jeremy to pass off the ring. Once Jeremy started to get emotional she finally understood. Jeremy proceeded to get down on one knee and asked Ainsley to marry her while her family and a few beach goers witnessed the whole moment. It ended with some applause and, of course, many happy tears and hugs. The beach was nearly empty and the sun was setting. The sounds of the waves crashing against the shore added the perfect ambient background noise and it is a moment that neither one of them will ever forget.
