We matched on Bumble in April 2017, getting to know one another quickly. Our first date was in Asbury Park enjoying tacos and margaritas a couple weeks after we started talking. We were both nervous to meet in person but instantly knew this was something special. We started dating that May and the rest is history!

Our first Yankee game together. Jake is a huge baseball fan and has grown up watching the Yankees. Going to a game together or with a group of friends is still one of our favorite date night activities. Fun fact: this is also the first picture we ever took together! He insisted I wear his pinstripe jersey, so I think he wanted to document it in case it never happened again.

One of the first vacations we took together was a family cruise with Jake's parents. This trip was so memorable for us since it was the first time we really traveled anywhere together. It gave us the perfect opportunity to relax and adventure with one another.

My mom has always wanted to attend the Kentucky Derby, so in 2018 we all made it happen! This trip truly is one for the record books. We spent 13 hours in the car together, which was the longest amount of time we spent in a confined space with one another at this point in our relationship. We had beautiful weather at the Kentucky Oaks which is when this photo was taken. The Derby the following day was one of the wettest in history. Jake and I took cover from the never ending rain in the tunnel at Churchill Downs to only get trapped in there for an hour because the tunnel and grounds began to flood! Whenever we get trapped in the rain we always say "Nothing could be worse than the Derby!"

A few months later I had booked us a surprise 3-day trip through Pack Up + Go and it was so much fun! We had no idea where we were going until we got to airport and opened our package with our plane tickets, our hotel information, and a fully planned itinerary. It was fun to explore a new city together for the first time. We highly recommend people checking out this unique travel experience.

Right before the world shutdown we were having a date night on Broadway as a belated Valentine's Day celebration. It's crazy to think back on but we had a great time nonetheless.

We moved in together July 2021, but quickly realized the home felt empty without our family pets. Adopting Newton was one of the best decisions we made together, and it's been so wonderful seeing our family grow over the years.

Exploring San Francisco after not being able to travel for a couple years was one of our favorite trips we've ever taken! We had such a memorable time driving all over the city in a go-kart, eating so much amazing food, and walking through Muir Woods. California remains our favorite state to travel to by far.

A truly spectacular day that was full of so many surprises! Our engagement day was perfect no matter how hard it rained. Sandy Hook has become so special to our relationship since we've spent so much time here over the years. I couldn't picture us committing to our future anywhere else.

Our family continues to grow and so does our love. Darwin has been the best addition to our silly, little family. If you keep an eye out, you might be able to spot our handsome fellas on our big day!
Our love story has always been written in the stars
