It's been a journey! See below for a timeline of our favorite memories and milestone moments.
We're in the same first and second grade class. Marlee catches Jack's eye with her curly hair.
As we grow up, we have different friend groups and are merely just classmates for 10 years!
We're brought back together during our senior year of high school. Jack asks Marlee to the school dance (Senior Ball).
Marlee attends the University of Maryland and we become #1 customers of Southwest Airlines booking direct flights to/from Rochester and Baltimore to spend weekends together.
First & second apartments, movie dates, hikes, and travels fill these years. Marlee joins the Beers family on summer vacations to Westport, MA and enjoys her first (of many) lobsters!
Did we mention we're both hockey players? We made it to Ottawa, Canada to skate the 7-mile Rideau Canal during the Winterlude Festival just in time before the pandemic. For the rest of 2020 & much of 2021 we become each others "coworkers" while working from home. Lots of time is spent watching food network, enjoying time on our front porch (spotting new puppies), and many, many walks together.
Jack surprises Marlee and gets down on one knee in the garden outside The George Eastman House (one of our favorite spots!). Now, after over a decade together, we can't wait to tie the knot and start this next chapter!
