Our Wedding

Margaret and Jack met on August 28, 2017 at 7:00am on their first day of welding school at the Milwaukee Area Technical College campus in West Allis, WI. Jack felt compelled to look up at the doorway just as Margaret was walking in, and he was "struck" by her. They realized later that day that they had every class together.&nbsp;Margaret changed seats during that&nbsp;next class to sit by Jack, and over the course of the semester, they became friends. During the Spring semester, they started having breakfast together between their classes twice a week, and their unspoken feelings for each other grew more each day.&nbsp; At the end of the school year, Margaret made a passing declaration that she would be moving to the West Coast after she graduated, much to Jack's dismay. He decided to take her out for belated birthday drinks since he then had nothing to lose. After a fun and relaxing evening on June 9, 2018, Margaret proclaimed feelings for Jack, to which he enthusiastically responded in kind.&nbsp; The two spent a giddy and enjoyable summer together, enjoying their honeymoon phase. They said "I&nbsp;Love You" after two and a half weeks together, and Margaret gave Jack keys to her place after two months. After some lucky circumstances, Jack managed to get the apartment across the hall from Margaret starting October 1, 2018. He wanted&nbsp;his own space for storage and a bedroom for his then seven year old daughter Rowan, who took to loving Margaret right away.&nbsp; Jack first mentioned marriage on July 3, 2018, the day before Margaret met Rowan. Margaret was surprised by how normal and comfortable she felt with the conversation, for she had assumed she'd never marry. Margaret bought her wedding dress the last week of August 2018. In September 2018, Margaret went to France to spend two weeks with her mom. During this time, Jack waded through some hardships with Margaret right by his "side" via WhatsApp. They talked to each other twice a day, every day she was gone. When she arrived home again, their relationship "leveled up" and became the passionate&nbsp; commitment the two have today.&nbsp; Jack started looking for engagement rings during October 2018. Margaret ordered him an engagement ring from Etsy, unbeknownst to him. On March 1, 2019, the two took a weekend getaway trip to Chicago. On the train down, Margaret tossed his engagement ring into his lab, saying casually "Want to marry me?" without knowing that Jack had Margaret's ring in his jacket pocket, nervous about proposing to her! As soon as they arrived at their hotel room, Jack got down on one knee and asked Margaret to marry him. She said yes, snatching the ring box out of his hand.&nbsp;When she opened it, she saw the ring she had picked out months before but had never told anyone about. Somehow, he knew it was the one for her.&nbsp;
