Like all great modern romances, ours started with a right swipe on Tinder. Before we even met in person, we were already talking on the phone nonstop—turns out, we never really ran out of things to say (and still haven’t). Our first date was at The Cheesecake Factory on July 16, 2019. Jimmie’s very first words were, “You’re even more beautiful in person.” Cliché? Maybe. Heart-melting? Absolutely. From that night on, something just clicked. A month later on August 17, 2019, under the stars outside the Adler Planetarium, Jimmie asked Isabella to be his girlfriend. Five years later—on the same date—he proposed on a dinner cruise at Navy Pier, bringing our story full circle in the most thoughtful way. We love trying new restaurants, traveling together, playing video games, and cozying up for movie nights. Over the years, we’ve shared adventures across the U.S.—from California to Tennessee—and explored beautiful destinations like Mexico and Greece. We bought our first home on October 27, 2022, and welcomed our bernedoodle, Winter, into our lives on December 28, 2023. She’s sweet, fluffy, and a total daddy’s girl—and yes, she’ll be there for the big day too. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our love story surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of it.
