Francis and Hailey first met on Thanksgiving Eve in 2015 outside the Green Turtle in Towson. At the time, Francis was living in Pittsburgh, and Hailey was living in Stewartstown, so they went their separate ways but made sure to exchange numbers first. Fast forward to May of 2017, when Hailey moved to Towson. Francis had taken a snap chat from the roof of his apartment building & the said snap chat was of Hailey's new apartment building. Hailey reached out to Francis about the snap chat, and once they both realized they were living across the street from each other, plans were made to go out. They started as friends but quickly grew to adore one another, and a relationship blossomed from there.

In 2019, Francis and Hailey moved to Havre De Grace, MD, where they still reside along with the best dog ever... NOIR (who they rescued in February 2020).

Francis proposed to Hailey on Black Friday (11/25/2022) at Hailey's favorite winery in MD, Chateau Bu-De. He had told her they were meeting a customer and his wife for lunch, which was not unusual, so when he popped the question, Hailey was stunned (so much so she tried to grab the ring out of the box herself instead of waiting for Francis to do it).

Charleston, SC holds a special place in both Francis and Hailey's hearts. They love the food, drinks, people, atmosphere, and shopping and could not think of a better place to get married!
