Jessie and Greg met in 2021 while living in Boston. What began as a simple friendship blossomed naturally over time. By the summer of 2023, something clicked. Greg asked Jessie to dinner. They were both a little nervous, unsure of what it might mean—but there was also a quiet certainty. Since then, Jessie has come to appreciate how Greg shows love grounded in patience, kindness, and faith. He’s the kind of man who makes you feel like being with you is a gift. His steady presence, warm heart, and unwavering respect made it easy for Jessie to fall in love—and impossible not to. Greg loves Jessie for her quiet strength and the way she never loses her light, even when life gets challenging. He admires how she shows up with compassion, humor, and grace—and how her presence brings a sense of calm and joy to everyone around her. In January 2025, over chips and salsa at their favorite little Mexican spot, Greg asked Jessie to marry him—simple, heartfelt, and full of love. Together, they’ve built a life that feels like home. They love to take long drives with no destination, play their favorite songs, laugh until they can’t breathe, and remind each other to never take life too seriously (Rule 62!). Their relationship is rooted in deep respect—for God, one another, and for the future they’re building hand in hand. On their wedding day, Jessie and Greg hope to surround themselves with the family, friends, and community who have been part of their journey—their growth, their joy, and their love. It’s not just about celebrating the love they share—it’s about honoring the people who helped bring them to this sacred moment. As they prepare for marriage, they hold the Prayer of St. Francis close to their hearts: The Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
