The First Date

As all great modern day millennial love stories begin, it started on a lovely app we like to call Tinder. Jenn was two years fresh out of college and was done with the frogs she was meeting. She would casually swipe on tinder go on a first date and that was the end of that. One weekend while she was working as a nanny they were on vacation in Lavalette she came across the most handsome man she had ever seen, which she was in luck was also vacationing in Lavallette. In case you did not figure it out, it was Joe! Joe and Jenn set up their first date when they got back up North, at a little restaurant called Smokeys in Vernon. Jenn was beyond impressed that Joe was willing to drive up to Sussex County to meet her. After dinner Joe asked Jenn if she wanted to grab ice cream or something after, because he just wanted to keep hanging out with her. Jenn’s response was in typical Jenn fashion “I’m kind of tired, think I’m going to head home.” They hugged goodbye and parted ways. The whole way home Joe thought to himself, “Well, she didn’t like me. Little did he know Jenn was so excited about him. But after a long day at work Jenn just wanted to go home and lay in her bed and turn on some Netflix. In typical girl fashion Jenn wanted to text Joe but thought she couldn’t, until Joe texted her first. Now on Joe’s end he wanted to text Jenn but thought he couldn’t until she texted him. A day or two went by and both Jenn and Joe were stubborn. Until Joe thought “I’m just going to text her if she doesn’t respond that’s fine, she was not into me.” So, he did, and we’ll let us just say Jenn was ecstatic and texted him back right away. Jenn ran to tell her two best friends Bria and Brianne about Joe and how something about him was just different.

Officially Official

Jenn and Joe continued to hang out once or twice a week. Now if you know Jenn and Joe, they are both huge New York Giants Fans. Joe decided to take Jenn to the Giants game October 22, 2017, vs Seattle Seahawks, In case you were wondering the Giants were not very good back than either they lost 24-7. That is when Joe and Jenn took their first photo together. Jenn of course posted it on Instagram and got flooded by her friends wondering who this man was. Jenn got the questions “who is this?”&nbsp;&nbsp;“Is this your boyfriend?” “Who is he?” Jenn laughed and didn’t know what to say, she explained it all to Joe and asked what she should say. Joe said “Well I would say you were by girlfriend.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Jenn was shocked and said, “Well I didn’t want to assume.” Jenn left that date so confused, she ran to her best friend Bria and said, well are we official are we not what should I do? If you know Bria, she is the more levelheaded one in this friendship. She said “well Jenn I would assume you guys are together, you only have been seeing each other for the past three months. Why don’t you go ask him.” Jenn said fine, and asked Joe, he looked at her and said Well yes, I thought we were this whole past week. Jenn could not have been happier with that response.&nbsp;

Flash Forward to the YES!

Six Years have gone by, and Jenn was sitting and wondering when Joe was going to pop the question. Everyone and I mean everyone have been sitting and wondering as well. Joe and Jenn decided to celebrate Valentines Day a couple of days early this year. They both decided on this little Italian restaurant Beneci’s on the water in Weehawken. Jenn thought nothing of it, but little did she know the ring she had been waiting for was sitting in Joes pocket. Joe and Jenn have walked the Weehawken waterfront before. As he left the restaurant Joe started talking about walking along the waterfront. Jenn said, “Well, would you like to walk it tonight. The only thing running in Jenns’ head was well Joe has to get his steps in. If you know Joe, he loves walking lol. Jenn and Joe walk towards the walkway, Joe says we’ll  just walk to the end there. Jenn said no problem and they continue to walk as the got to the end Joe turned around and before she knew it  he got down on one knee, with the words “ Well honey you’ve waited long enough, I love you so much, WILL YOU MARRY ME!” Jenn right away busted out into tears all she could say was wait are you serious she hugged him as tight as she could and said Thank You… not a yes not a no but a Thank you lol. Jenn did not know what to say, she had waited so long for this moment, and it was finally here. Joe and Jenn cannot wait to spend a lifetime together and spend that special day celebrating with everyone they love.
