Our story begins at the University of Cincinnati. We had only met a few times in passing while at school, but one of those times was when a long-haired defensive tackle was kind enough to walk an only-slightly-tipsy Junior home safely after a house party on campus. At the time, neither of us had any idea we’d become husband and wife someday. Five years after that walk, John decided to be the ultimate millennial and send a Facebook message. After catching up, we decided to have dinner at a local restaurant, Spagio. We spent the night laughing, reminiscing, and lighting a spark neither of us knew was there and we've been together ever since. After three wonderful years together, John recruited Jillian’s closest friends to help him design the most amazing engagement ring. On March 11, 2019, John got down on one knee and proposed during a candlelit dinner on the beach in Costa Rica. We truly couldn’t be happier with the way our story has turned out and we can’t wait to write our next chapter while celebrating our union with you! We hope to see you on on September 12, 2020!
