Our Wedding Date

Two young boys from Philly had a friendship for years before both getting married on July 5th,1958. They asked each other to be their best man but that was not possible since they were getting married on the same day. Unfortunately they lost touch with each other during their service in the military.

Years later in 1991, their kids became friends through a mutual friend resulting in three couples getting together every New Years Eve. The family connections were uncovered during Austin's first birthday, January 31,1997 and the two men rekindled their friendship.

As Austin and Jess dated they thought how wonderful it would be to begin their journey in marriage by choosing their Grandparents’ wedding date of July 5th and honoring their 60 plus years of marriage and love.

The Proposal

Austin is a very fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy and on the day of the proposal knowing he orchestrated this perfect day just means Jess knows he loves her 1000 Times more than she already thought.

Jess was supposed to go dress shopping with her friend Danielle for her wedding dress and instead she woke up to having a day planned with a scavenger hunt to places Austin and Jess enjoyed while dating.

The day started with meeting Jess’ brother and his girlfriend for breakfast in Wildwood where Austin and Jess rekindled thier friendship after years of being out of touch. The second place was Harrah's Resort in AC where Austin and Jess love to hangout by The Pool. The third place was lunch with Jess’ parents at the diner where Jess and Austin had their very first date. The fourth place was getting Jess’ nails done so they would look great in pictures and finally with Austin proposing in the middle of a beautifully lit street in Philly and a perfect Hallmark setting with snow falling all around them.

Austin and Jess will treasure the day and moment forever!
