Our Wedding

Jack and Britt’s love story began on Hinge, where a like turned into a relationship. Their first date at 750 Cucina Rustica (Jack paid, Britt offered) in October 2024 would become the start to a beautiful relationship. Brittany, being her stubborn self, made Jack ask her to be his girlfriend 18 times before she finally agreed— though she secretly wanted to say yes the very first time. Bonding over their love for good music, lazy Sundays on the couch, and their shared love for family and friends, especially her dog, Finny, who quickly became the third wheel in their relationship. A year and a half later, they can't imagine life without each other, and their love has only grown stronger, with Finn, the goodest boy in the world, always by their side.
