The story of how Addie and Jared met starts where many modern love stories begin: down the Jersey Shore. A weekend of drinks, mutual friends, and more drinks ended with many laughs and Jared telling Addie, "We are going to be really good friends." Neither of them realized how true that would be, plus so much more! From trips to Penn State, a move to Philadelphia, and a pandemic-shortened stay in Boston, Addie and Jared saw a lot over the past four years. This all culminated in their family growing to three, with the addition of a very spunky French Bulldog named Harper. The now family of three faced their share of challenges in 2020 resulting in an unexpected move back to Philadelphia for work. They took it in stride and Jared made sure it did not change his plans... ...What Addie thought was a family vacation to Cape Cod became a weekend she would never forget. Jared dropped to one knee outside a beach front gazebo decorated with pictures of them and champagne (of course!) and asked Addie to spend the rest of their lives together. Through many tears, smiles, and hugs, she said yes! We could not be more excited to welcome all of you to Philadelphia to celebrate our next big adventure together!
