Our story begins at the Indeed office in New York City! We were both working for Indeed in their Sales Department and had decided that we should go for drinks to celebrate hitting our 4th quarter quotas.

We spent 8 hours at Connolly’s Pub on 45th Ave, discussing every topic under the sun where we learned two things about each other: 1) a night cap can be several drinks, not just one... and 2) we both really enjoyed being around each other and getting to know each other. Jack walked Kelli to her subway stop (which happened to be in front of the Empire State building) & Kelli made her move... & the first kiss happened!

Jack left Indeed a few months later to work as a New York City Fireman, and this is when we learned that our connection went much further than just a work crush. We continued to talk every day and it wasn’t long after Jack left Indeed that we were officially dating. Jack would commute from Queens to Brooklyn multiple times a week to see Kelli -- this is when Jack's family & friends knew it was something special!

We dated through Jack’s time in the fire academy and through a Pandemic in which the world went a little crazy. Although these were trying times, they were a major catalyst in strengthening our relationship. Covid time actually brought us closer together-- we loved seeing each other everyday & during this time we shortly found out that it was inevitable that we were each other's person!

Fast forward to 2023, after 4 years of dating, a dozen plus trips to Texas, and a girlfriend whose patience was wearing thin… Jack (happily & nervously) proposed in Napa in April 2023.

The start of our new chapter begins on May 25th and we can’t wait to celebrate with y’all!
