How We Met

Summer of 2012

We met each other at a...psychiatric hospital? Yup! John was working as an employee on one of the units, and Jenna was interning for the summer. John and his co-workers would sometimes go out for drinks after their evening shift, and Jenna was invited along one night. Group outings started to become more one-on-one, and the remainder of the summer was spent mostly together. Our first date was at Magooby's Joke House (which we still love going to!), and we have continued to bond over our love of comedy and laughter.

The Proposal

June 30, 2018

We were spending the week in Ocean City, MD at a friend's condo (thanks, Jocelyn!). It was our second night in OC, and John suggested that we go for a walk on the beach at sunset. After looking for a secluded, intimate area of the beach, John got down on one knee, asked Jenna to marry him, and we were engaged! We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you! See you in Baltimore!
