Jacki and Pat met in Charlotte after Jacki fled the mean streets of NYC, Clubs, and overpriced apartments. In search of fresh air and a southern gentleman she stumbled into a vibrant city of breweries, fitness studios, dogs, and new friends. One of those being Pat. They quickly became friends and after many hikes, concerts, checkers games, drinks, and laughs they took a “friends” trip to Turks and Caicos where the island sun and rum punch sparked what has turned into an amazing love story. A Global pandemic put a halt to their favorite activity, traveling to visit friends and family, but it gave them a lot of time together learning how to make tasty meals for dinner every night, how to properly make a bed(Pat), and realize that painting is not one of their strengths. After a 12 hour drive up to Cape Cod and a sweaty morning workout Pat surprised Jacki when he dropped down on a knee. Since then it has been a whirlwind of celebrating, planning (Jacki), house buying, and a few* rounds of golf to keep everyone sane! September 25th is just the beginning for what will be a life filled with adventures, love, and happiness. Let’s celebrate!
