Like all epic love stories, Jeanine and Tom (TC) met via online dating and it was love at first click.

Just kidding, but now that I have your attention... We did meet via Match.com. Our first text was on Saturday, March 13, 2021, and our first date was scheduled for Tuesday, March 16, 2021. Being the gentleman that he is, Tom said it was ladies choice and offered to come out to where I was living. So, me being every bit a lady stated that I wanted Chicken Wings for our first date (LOL). We ended up meeting at The Gin Mill in Northampton and talked the night away. Sadly Tom had to call it quits around 10 since he's a responsible adult and knew he had to wake up early for work the next day.

By April 12, 2021 we were officially dating (30 days from first text, but who's counting...) .

Tom said 'I Love You' first; and scared me half to death in the process by saying, "I need to tell you something..." (if you have anxiety, you know what I'm talking about).

Tom asked me to move in with him for Valentine's Day in 2022. I moved into his place in May 2022. Since then we have completed a multitude of projects and have made this house our home <3!

On December 26, 2022 Tom proposed to me in the presence of both of our families in front of a Christmas Tree. And if you know me, you know what Christmas means to me. Unbeknownst to me, Tom had invited his family (Nancy, Tom, Katie, and Hudson) over to John & Jenn's house and join us for my family Christmas get together that was already planned. He even included my mom via Facetime! Fun fact: She was apparently on the phone for 20 mins on mute crying knowing what was about to happen (such a mom move... Love you mama dukes <3).

That day was the beginning of our forever. We look forward to sharing our day with you on our next step in our story.
