Our Wedding

Jill and Jordan met at the beginning of their sophomore year at Stevenson University. It was during the first weekend of classes where Jill saw Jordan at a party and asked her friends "who is that" (keep in mind Stevenson is a small school so you know everyone). No one knew who he was so she just carried on with her evening. They started to run into each other on campus and eventually started to hangout with mutual friends.

It all started with chocolate milk...

One night Jordan texted Jill saying he was running to Wawa and asked if she wanted anything, and if you know Jill, you know she said yes :) They hopped in Jordan's car and off they went both awkward and nervous to be finally hanging out together. Along the drive, Jill pointed out several car dealerships saying how she wanted all these different fancy cars, Jordan's response was "I'll buy you one someday". It was then when Jill knew he was a keeper!

At Wawa they walked around the store trying to decide what to get. They bonded over their love for chocolate milk and left the store each with a bottle in their hand. From that point on they were inseparable.

They supported each other (on and off the field) through the rest of their time at Stevenson and enjoyed every second.

Shortly after graduation, Jill and Jordan took a trip to Boston to figure out a plan and a place to live for their next adventure. Jordan popped the question on July 3, 2019 and shortly after they made their big move to Boston. Jordan completed Grad School and Jill worked hard to get her foot in the door of the working world. If that wasn't enough excitement for you, along the way their fur baby Dunkin came into the picture and made them happier than ever.

After many lobster rolls, Red Sox games, and plenty of cold weather it was time for their next adventure. Along with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, we traded in our snow boots for some flip flops.

Jordan and Jill were both offered fantastic job opportunities down in the Sunshine State and knew they had to go. After a very long road trip consisting of too many pit stops, a puppy in the backseat and running on lots of coffee, they made it to their new home of Saint Petersburg, Florida.

Jill and Jordan could not be happier living in the sunshine everyday with their dog Dunkin and can't wait to show you around the place they call home.

Speaking of home...we recently purchased our first house! We are so excited to be starting another amazing chapter together and we can't wait to finally have a place to call ours!

Cruise on a floating tiki bar down the Hillsborough River by skyscrapers, Tampa’s Riverwalk, and through downtown Tampa! Such a fun way to relax and get a tour of the water way.
