We met on the Collegiate cafeteria dance floor at a school dance that happened to be on Virginia’s 15th birthday. Jack was with two of his friends who wanted to dance with the two friends Virginia was talking to. To not make things awkward, after the other friends coupled off to dance, Jack was pressured to ask Virginia to dance too. 11 years later, we’re getting married!

On the coldest and windiest day in Richmond last year, Jack convinced Virginia to go for a walk in Byrd Park. Luckily for Jack’s nervousness, Virginia spent the whole walk there complaining about the cold so he didn’t have to make small talk. Once they made it to Shields Lake, in an empty park except for the hidden photographer, Jack popped the question. The walk home had a lot less complaining! We can’t wait to celebrate with you in Charlottesville this May!
