Liz and Jon met in 2014 at Max's tap house in Baltimore for one of Liz's best friend's birthday celebrations. Jon was nursing a fruity tequila sunrise while Liz was enjoying her signature tequila club soda and lime. They quickly connected through a shared love of tequila and commiseration of going through the struggle of graduate school. Liz had adopted an adorable Pit-bull named Jackson that same week, which definitely did not hinder Jon's attempts to get to know Liz a little better going forward. Over the next few months, they slowly but surely fell in love. They supported each other through a number of milestones, including a year of bi-coastal long distance and moving across the country for Jon's job (the joys of military life commencing early on). When they first visited Lake Tahoe in 2019 on a ski vacation, they knew this was the perfect location to start yet another milestone in each other's lives, and cannot wait to share this milestone with their family and friends.
