Covid Update

Will and Jess are ready to tie the knot despite the craziness of the world right now. The wedding will be masking at your comfort level, and some masks and hand sanitizer will be provided for any guests that forgot. If your plans do change please let the couple know so they can adjust their arrangements.

The Beginning

Jess and Will both were swiping on Tinder one night, both with a few drinks in their system, and decided to swipe right on each other. Will was drawn in by Jess's picture with a dolphin. Jess was drawn in my Will's picture with the Penn State Lion. They started talking and haven't stopped! Their first date was to Cactus Blue in Bethlehem. Jess thought anyone that takes her to a Mexican restaurant is a keeper! Will asked Jess to be his girlfriend after Penn State won the Big 10 championship. Jess responded with "I'll give you a chance." Little did she know it would be the best chance of her life.

The Proposal

Will and Jess were invited to a Christmas celebration at Will's parents church, the Moravian Church on Main St. in Bethlehem. Will was excited because he wanted to take Jess up to the bell tower "for the view." Jess was not very excited because she was starting to get hungry and was promised dinner and drinks after the celebration and it sounded like there would be a lot of steps involved in getting to the bell tower. Will was persistent and they started climbing the steps. Jess and Will stopped off in the attic of the church and Jess thought "this is it?!", but then there more steps. They made it out to the ledge with the clocks and it was a really nice view (Jess still had no idea what was going to happen). Then Will said "lets go up to the bell tower." They went back inside and went over to the steps to go up. The steps were basically a ladder and Jess was wearing a flowy dress so she got nervous about coming back down and couldn't bring herself to go all the way up. At that point Will pulled the ring box out of his pocket and told Jess to just go up. Jess, now with tears in her eyes couldn't do it so they went back out the the ledge with the clocks. Will got down on one knee and said something that Jess can't remember and asked her to marry him. Now crying even more Jess said yes and put the ring on her finger. They went back down the steps and finally Jess got her dinner and drinks, but now they had something to celebrate!
