Reception

Our Wedding

We met on a summer night in 2021, waiting in line to get into Claudio's. Meg was out with her friends Brooke and Lauren, and Jack was with his friend Eric. A conversation sparked over Jack and Eric’s to-go margaritas.After that night, we stayed in touch, going on a few dates even though we knew Jack would be moving to D.C. in the fall. Once Jack moved, Meg made a few visits to D.C., and before long, we decided to make things official.

2021

For about a year, we navigated a long-distance relationship, but it didn’t take long for us to realize we didn’t want to live apart. In the fall of 2022, Meg moved to D.C., and we spent a wonderful year together there while also planning our next steps.

2022

Wanting to be closer to Meg’s job and both of our families, we began searching for a place back on Long Island. In the fall of 2023, we found the perfect spot in Jamesport and moved back to the Island. Over the past year, we’ve worked hard to build our dream home, finishing construction in August 2024.

2023

During the Whirlwind of building our house, Jack proposed to Meg on a lovely December day at Kontakosta Winery in Greenport.

2024

Now, as we settle into our new home, we’re looking forward to the next big chapter: celebrating our marriage with all of you in June 2025!
