Who knew that a freakishly large chair at Riedlbauers Resort would change everything? Jack had just wrapped up life on the road doing commercial solar, and I was a delightfully goofy career nanny. One fateful late summer evening, while scrolling Facebook, there he was — in all his ginger glory, aviators on, smug cute little look on his face, as he sat posed in the giant chair. The name felt familiar. Towns apart, probably crossed paths at the same parties once upon a time… but it was the chair that sealed the deal. So naturally, I slid into those DMs. We chatted for a few months before finally meeting the day before Halloween 2022. I showed up to his house dressed as Billy the puppet from Saw. Being the absolute sport he is, Jack became Garth from Wayne’s World, and off we went. Our first date took place at the world’s third largest gnome in Kerhonkson, NY. As one does. Naturally, I didn’t realize it was actually a date until halfway through when Jack asked if I wanted to grab a coffee or a beer. History was made, baby. And now… here we are. GETTIN’ HITCHED!
