We met 13yrs ago while working for the same bank. Our lives looked a little different back then. Fast forward to Spring 2017. Jim was living and working in Downtown Harrisburg. A bachelor in the city, he was recovering from a shoulder surgery and sporting a distinguished beard. Jess was starting a new job in Harrisburg and embarking on a new chapter in her own life. Here is where we would like to extend our thanks to one Mr. Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook. You see, we were already Facebook friends. Jim, heading to Phillies Spring Training, shaved off that distinguished beard of his and posted before/after pictures. Jess, who had initially thought that the beard made him look older, had become quite a fan of the beard. Jess commented “Whoaaaaa!!!!!!” on his picture. A friendly conversation ensued… and here we are! Two old acquaintances turned best friends, turned couple, turned soon-to-be-newlyweds! We cannot wait to share our happiness with you on our special day. ❤️
