Our story "technically" begins back in 2004.
Greg had just started a training program in NYC for Investment Banking on Wall Street. During this time, he became acquainted with a fellow colleague, Trent Kososki. After completing his training, Greg moved to Houston, Texas to start his career. He lost touch with Trent until Trent and his wife, Jennifer, moved to Houston in 2018.
Jill was a native Texan who moved to Houston in 2013 to start her career as a Physician Assistant at MD Anderson. She crossed paths with Trent at a Houston Rockets game shortly after he and Jenn moved to Houston in 2018. Jill & Jenn became instant friends. Over the next few years, Trent would casually throw out the idea to both Jill and Greg separately that the two of them should meet. However, it would be several years later until an official introduction to each other was made. Once they finally met, it did not take long for Greg and Jill to fall in love and begin to intertwine their lives. Fast forward to November 1, 2024, the day that Greg proposed to Jill.
The Proposal:
Greg, Kate, and Jill were at home just about to head to the airport to see Adele in Las Vegas.
Jill was making her final rounds around the house to make sure doors were locked, lights were off, and ensuring that nothing had been forgotten. As she was focused on these tasks, Greg walks up to her and gives her a big hug. He then pulled away and said "I have a question for you". Jill thought he was about to ask if she had locked the doors, but instead, she was surprised to hear him ask "Will you marry me?". He presented her with the most beautiful ring, and she said yes with a loud squeal to follow! Greg popped the question so quickly that Kate was only able to get her reaction on video (Greg was supposed to give her a cue or heads up before hand). Nevertheless, they hugged, kissed, and shed happy tears (well, Jill did). Kate hugged Jill and said "now I get a bonus mom!", which was a very special, sweet thing to say. The next thing she said was "have you thought about the cake yet?"
We then enjoyed a magical weekend all together in Vegas, and the rest is history.
