Kevin and Jessie officially met for the first time in May 2019 when Jessie started working at Yellow Door Taqueria in Boston. However their lives had been running parallel for a long time. As emo kids hailing from New Jersey, they had been to a lot of the same concerts as kids, and they had shared mutual restaurant industry friends for a long time while never really knowing one another.

Kevin and Jessie always had a great time bartending together. Jessie took service and cranked out margaritas while Kevin schmoozed with guests on the other end of the bar- he’s far more charming and far less awkward/grumpy/introverted than Jessie. They often found themselves grabbing one more drink on the way home or winding up in Chinatown late night for post-shift snacks. As 2020 and the pandemic shook up everyone's social lives, the two often found there wasn’t anything better to do after work but have a beer on Kevin’s porch. And so the summer was spent on that porch, contemplating life and giggling into the wee hours of the morning, Kevin and Jessie pretending they were just friends.

As that summer came to a close, they finally decided to talk about the fact that this was more than friendship. It was a little dramatic and took a few days, and maybe there was a *really casual* ultimatum, but they eventually came to realize that they had found a very special connection. They had both found their best friend, soul mate, and life partner.

We are so excited for all of the people we love to join us on our special day, we can't wait to party with ya'll 💖
