Q + A

In 2012, Jon and Kathleen both moved to Alexandria, VA and happened to frequent the same local sports bar. We quickly determined that while each having our uniqueness in activities and personalities we also had many similarities. Over the years we have had many adventures together, including trips to Solomon's Island, St. Michaels, MD, Roanoke, VA, and Harpers Ferry, WV. In 2018 we began dating and in July of 2019 Kathleen rescued Flynn at 10-weeks old. Flynn is a big part of our lives and is active in our continued adventures. Valentines Day weekend of 2021, Flynn asked Kathleen if she would allow Jon to be his Furever Dad.

How We Met

Our Story

Rob is Jon's older brother and they grew up fishing with their father on the family boat, the Crack-A-Dawn, and eventually went on to buying their own boat together.  Every time Rob took the boat out, something always went wrong.  After Jon fixed it, the boat ran fine until Rob stepped foot on it again.

Rob Moro

Megan met Kathleen when she moved to the Washington, DC area from San Diego.  They became instant friends over indoor soccer and have since taken multiple international trips (France, Peru and Ireland) together.   Megan is the planner and Kathleen is the go-with-the-flow.

Michelle is Jon’s older sister. Jon was Michelle’s 7th birthday present, Yes, they share the same birthday! Michelle and her family adopted a rescue dog last year, Violet, and every time Jon and Kathleen come to NJ to visit, Michelle, Kathleen,  and Jon always try to get together so that Flynn can play with his cousin Violet.

2 Silos is a great brewery which is right down the road from Sweeney Barn. For those of you coming into town on Thursday, we made arrangements for a sectioned off area to be available Thursday evening. We hope this will allow our guests to gather and enjoy themselves. 2 Silos has great food and a full bar for those of you who would like a beverage that differs from beer. After the rehearsal dinner we will join our guests along with the bridal party in the sectioned off area.
