Jack and I met my senior year of college just as I was about to graduate. I was sitting at our local bar, C&R, with my roommate when Jack approached me. It was then that I remembered he was the guy who asked me on a date weeks ago, and I forgot to respond…and here he was, still determined. Our first date was at Nacho Mamas in Towson. We couldn’t believe how many times we had been at the same bar, at the same time, and never ran into each other once. I’m talking years! We said our goodbyes and that week left for Ocean City, Maryland to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with our friends. I had no idea Jack was going to also be there. The first night out, my friends and I decide to go to Fagers Island. It was packed—there must have been hundreds of people in this bar. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Jack! Now, this could have gone one of two ways: I was either being stalked or fate kept pushing us together. I chose to believe it was fate! That night I met his brother and friends, and actually ended up going on a second date! Well…more like at 4 a.m. I had to drive Jack to the hospital to get stitches. So it was an unconventional second date for sure, but definitely unforgettable! Jack and I moved in together shortly after, because when you know, you just know. We spent months renovating our house with the help of family and friends and in 2024 we adopted our dog Bodhi! Now three years later, we’re getting married! If you made it this far, thank you for being a part of our story. We’re so excited to share this next chapter with you!
