This wasn't the age old "love at first sight", it was immediate familiarity. Like God had sent a prayer in human form and they both knew this was it. Never questioning, just a sigh of relief that finally the wait was over. By the grace of God, Tom and Jeanette found each other out of billions of possibilities, the connection was instant. A month later, Tom drove 3 1/2 hours for their first date in Jeanette's home town. Jeanette and Tom left with an inkling that they had found the one. A short time passed and Jeanette traveled to Buffalo for the first time. Long distance was beautiful, difficult and worth it. Just four months in, Jeanette would leave her old life in a small, dainty town in exchange for a new life with Thomas in Buffalo. They merged their lives so seamlessly, it was only a matter of time before Thomas asked the question he’d been talking about since the first month. June 2025 Thomas dropped down on one knee with a ring he created using his mothers diamond. It was the easiest “yes” Jeanette would ever say. September 19th 2026 please join us at the Timberlodge at Arrowhead golf course for an adults only celebration of their marriage Mr. and Mrs.Briatico coming 2026!
