We are so excited to share this once in a lifetime adventure with you!

It was a fun night out with friends. Joe was out with his buddy Lou and Jess was out with her girls Jen and Tanya. Neither one of us were out looking to meet anyone that night, just a fun night out with friends at The Pier on Old Orchard Beach. But life had other plans as our eyes locked from across the room on the dancefloor and before we knew it, we were flowing together to the beat of the music. Most of the night was spent dancing together and after the facility closed some conversation followed. That night Jess learned that Joe was a single father of a teenage boy and Joe learned that Jess was a single mother of three girls: two teenagers. Jess also learned that Joe apparently owned a chair that he named 13 years prior based on a name that was somehow called to him.... Jessica! He stated, "I've always just loved that name, it's my favorite name". Joe won the ability to obtain Jess's number and after a few days of talking we chose to go out on a date. It was clear after spending some time together that our personalities seem to blend perfectly. Four and a half years has passed since that night and after the relationship has gone through some trials and tribulations, we have only grown stronger together. Joe has been nicknamed "Turtle" for most of his life, and his personality sure fits it! Slow and steady and usually a few minutes late to just about everything!! In the beginning of the relationship Joe stated, "you're just like a rabbit, my Jessica rabbit". Jess, having the personality of speeding around rushing to do this and do that as a busy working single mother, quickly adopted the name of rabbit. That is how the love between the turtle and the rabbit was born!
