Little did they know that a person that they barely knew back in High School Gym Class would become the love of their life, soulmate, best friend and partner forever!

Dylan and Jess went to Colts Neck High School together and were not in the same classes and did not hang in the same circles...

Ten years later Dylan became involved in planning the CNHS High School reunion and thank goodness he made it happen. Jess and Dylan reconnected at Bar A during that reunion and went on their first date a few weeks later at Pig and Parrot in Manasquan. They knew early on that this could be something special and decided to make date two happen just the day after at Taka in Asbury Park.

From there on they were inseparable. They started to go to sporting events (especially the Yankees), family events and meeting each other's friends and families. The two years that they spent dating were filled of so many fun trips to Florida & other places, so much laughter and a forever kind of love. Which also included moving into their first Jersey City apartment...and a second only a few months later (not in the plan).

Only a few weeks after their two-year anniversary Dylan planned Jess' dream proposal during a private tour at Yankee Stadium. Truly a day that the two will never forget...good thing Jess didn't have a heart attack on the field that day. Now here they are embarking on their forever together on January 18th, 2026, with all of their loved ones around to celebrate their love!

Cheers to the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Woods!
