In the midst of the crazy Nov 2016 election, the day before we met for the first time in Central Park. We met through the JSwipe app. With no expectations of a connection, as many first dates are, we both were pleasantly surprised at the rapport shared. Though we were more or less divided by a city or two, one in New York and the other in dare we say it, New Jersey, we managed to balance our time with each other and where we resided. We shared many trips and adventures together early on in the relationship, including a family trip to Italy, only 6 months into the relationship. Through much deliberation, we decided to cohabitate in the state of New Jersey, despite Laura's "city gal" life. Five months after starting their Jersey home together, Jeremy asked Laura to be his wife.
