OUR STORY BEGINS ON AN APP CALLED HINGE. JAMIE LYNN WAS NEVER A PERSON TO BELIEVE IN DATING APPS, BUT AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2020 SHE THOUGHT TO HERSELF "WHY NOT". JUST 5 DAYS AFTER SHE DOWNLOADED THE APP, SHE CAME ACROSS MARCO AND THEY INSTANTLY HIT IT OFF. RIGHT FROM THE VERY FIRST CONVERSATION, SOMETHING FELT DIFFERENT. AFTER PLANNING THEIR FIRST DATE NIGHT, MARCO HAD TO CANCEL DUE TO BEING SICK. JAMIE LYNN REMEMBERS THINKING "HERE WE GO", BUT MARCO SENT A PICTURE OF HIS ANTIBIOTICS TO PROVE HE WASN'T JUST BLOWING HER OFF! THEY FINALLY GOT TO MEET 5 DAYS LATER AT A BAR JUST JAKES IN MONTCLAIR. AFTER SPENDING A FEW HOURS HAVING DRINKS AND TALKING, THEY KNEW THEY WANTED TO SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN. THEY SCHEDULED THEIR FIRST DINNER DATE JUST 2 DAYS LATER.

JUST 2 SHORT WEEKS LATER, COVID HIT THE US AS A PANDEMIC AND THE COUNTRY WAS SHUT DOWN! JL AND MARCO USED THIS TIME TO GROW CLOSER AND REALLY GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER. THEY ALWAYS WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS WASN'T THE CASE. THEY WEREN'T GOING OUT TO BARS, GETTING DRUNK, AND YELLING OVER MUSIC- THEY WERE SPENDING NIGHTS AT MARCO'S FATHERS PIZZERIA TALKING AND REALLY GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.

MARCO MADE JL WAIT A LONG 3 MONTHS TO OFFICIALLY MAKE HER HIS GIRLFRIEND! BUT FROM THERE, THE REST IS HISTORY! THEY HAD THEIR GOOD AND BAD DAYS, BUT THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WAS NEVER A DOUBT IN EITHER OF THEIR MINDS.

ON APRIL 3, 2021 (4.3.21) MARCO TOOK JAMIE LYNN OUT TO DINNER AT ADEGA (WHERE THEY HAD THEIR FIRST DINNER DATE). THEY HAD THE ENTIRE UPSTAIRS TO THEMSELVES WHERE THEY HAD KING AND QUEEN THROWN SEATS. AFTER SHARING A BEAUTIFUL DINNER, MARCO PULLED OUT A CHOCOLATE EGG- AN ITALIAN TRADITION. AFTER CRACKING THE EGG, WE FOUND A GOLD EGG INSIDE- WHERE MARCO GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND OPENED THE GOLD EGG TO REVEAL THE RING. HIS WORDS WERE "YOU TOOK MY BREATH AWAY THE FIRST NIGHT WE MET, NOW LET ME TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY. WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

JAMIE LYNN AND MARCO ARE ENJOYING PLANNING THE WEDDING OF THEIR DREAMS ON MARCH 19,2023 WHILE UNDERGOING A HOUSE RENOVATION, BUILDING THEIR CAREERS, AND GROWING EVEN MORE IN LOVE. THEY CAN'T WAIT FOR THEIR SPECIAL DAY!
