Jacqueline and TJ's love story began on Facebook, thanks to their mutual friend Alyssa Honaker. Even though TJ initially mentioned they couldn't date because they went to different middle schools, their connection only grew stronger. Through high school, they spent a lot of time together. Their bond deepened into something truly special, proving that love can overcome any obstacle, cause boy was there a lot of them!

Jacqueline and TJ officially embarked on their romantic journey on March 19, 2017. Their love story began with the challenge of long distance, with Jacqueline studying at Slippery Rock while TJ was constantly on the go, transitioning between Stevenson, WVU, HCC, and Salisbury balancing Lacrosse.

After Jacqueline graduated with her Bachelor's degree, she took a significant step in their relationship by joining TJ at Salisbury University for a year, bringing them even closer together. Their shared experiences during this time only deepened their bond, setting the stage for a beautiful future together!

In 2021, as TJ graduated, he and Jacqueline took a significant step in their relationship by moving in together in Jacqueline's apartment. This transition marked the beginning of a new chapter in their adult lives, filled with excitement and shared dreams.

Soon after, they were fortunate to move in with TJ's family, creating a supportive environment that allowed them to grow as a couple.

Through all the changes and transitions, Jacqueline and TJ have remained steadfast partners, supporting one another through every challenge and celebrating every milestone. Their bond has only strengthened, forming a beautiful life together rooted in love, resilience, and companionship.

On November 30th, 2024, Jacqueline and TJ fondly recall the day of their engagement with laughter and joy. For months, TJ had been planning to propose on the beach, eagerly awaiting the opportunity. Leading up to Thanksgiving, there was uncertainty about their travel plans to Ocean City, with Jacqueline often replying, "I'm not sure yet."

However, on Friday, November 22nd, TJ finally received the answer he had been hoping for: they would indeed be going to the beach for the holidays. With the date set, he quickly arranged for a photographer to capture the special moment, ensuring that their beloved dogs could also be part of the experience.

Despite the freezing cold weather, the beach setting added a magical touch to the day. As they posed for photos, TJ seized the moment to propose, and they left the beach filled with excitement and love, ready to embrace their new roles as fiancés.

As Jacqueline and TJ look ahead, their future is filled with exciting possibilities. They plan to buy a house, creating a warm and welcoming home for themselves and their dogs. Together, they envision a life where they can nurture their furry companions and build lasting memories.

In addition to personal milestones, both are committed to advancing their professional growth, supporting each other as they pursue their career aspirations. Their journey together will undoubtedly include new adventures, challenges, and opportunities that they cannot yet predict, but their love and partnership will guide them every step of the way. With a shared vision for the future, Jacqueline and TJ are ready to embrace whatever comes next.
