Fall

Our Wedding

Lou and Jess’s love story began like most common love stories.. online during a global pandemic. Depressed thinking it would be impossible to fall in love at that time, fate took over. The two of them swiped right and began passing the time playing games over FaceTime, and endless phone calls. Jess knew he was different from other guys when she had to reschedule one of their FaceTime dates because Taylor Swift was releasing a tv special and Lou responded “what channel is it on, I’ll watch it with you”. They met for the first time on the Belmar boardwalk where they were supposed to be wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart. Their love was contagious and Lou went in for the first kiss. Dating began differently than most relationships, dinners in the car, movie nights in their parent’s basements and drive by parties. It was challenging for them but at the same time, the easiest thing they’ve ever done. Jess remembers her face physically hurting the first week.. literally in pain from never smiling that much in her life, she describes meeting Lou felt like she had found her home. And Lou says he knew he loved Jess the minute he saw her smile and he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life making her smile and laugh. He told her he loved her one week into the relationship and never looked back. He says she has changed his life in ways he could have never imagined. Lou and Jess value their family bonds and their close friends that they consider family to them. It has been easy merging their lives into one and growing their love with their families cheering them on.&nbsp; They are counting down the days to celebrate their love for one another, surrounded by their favorite people. Jess and Lou’s love fills every room they enter, it is no question that they are meant to be. They look forward to cherishing every second of their big day, sharing their vows and lighting up the dance floor with some of Lou’s famous moves. Jess &amp; Lou will say “I Do” on May 2nd, 2025.
