About Jaden

Born and raised in Fredericksburg, VA, Jaden loves to bike, play tennis, read, hang out with her parents and endlessly text in her group chat. Professionally, she is an HR Director in the healthcare industry but dreams of working in a bookstore. Her favorite part of living in DC is all of the great restaurants to visit with Tommy and her family of friends. When thinking of the wedding, Jaden is most excited about sharing vows with Tommy in front of their family and friends. She is also very excited to see Tommy dance in his fancy suit!

About Tommy

When asked what to include in this section, Tommy wanted it simply to say, "tall and handsome". While true, Tommy is much more than that. A politico born in New York and raised in Virginia, Tommy is a JMU alum with a slight obsession for the New York Yankees and New York Jets. Tommy's favorite part of living in DC is that his running route takes him by the Capitol and DC monuments. He is excited to get married "because life is just better when you have your one and only partner by your side". Jaden also thinks he is excited because they will probably be getting a dog.

How they met

After meeting through mutual friends, Jaden and Tommy had a summer of bidirectional cat and mouse. After a series of breakfast dates, neighborhood walks and a very special Nats game, Tommy and Jaden were trying to be secretive about their feelings for each other. They were not good at it and all of their friends quickly figured it out. Finally, Jaden declared Tommy to be her boyfriend and the rest is history.

Their life together

Since moving in together, Jaden and Tommy have lived in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington DC. When they are not re-watching The West Wing and The Sopranos over and over again, they love traveling, going on long walks around the city and taking each other out on coffee dates. They enjoy going to Nats games and visiting Camden Yards when the Yankees are in town - Tommy for baseball and Jaden for the hot dogs.

The proposal

In March 2022, Tommy took Jaden to Martin's Tavern in Georgetown under the guise of a double date with one of their favorite couples. When they arrived, they were sat at the Madeleine Albright table and the maître d' began to give them the history of the restaurant. While interested, Jaden was more concerned about their friends being late and the status of their martinis. During the history lesson, they were offered to move to the Proposal Booth - the location of where President John F. Kennedy proposed to Jackie Lee Bouvier. At that table, Tommy asked Jaden to marry him and she obviously said yes. The surprise didn't end there - immediately after proposing, Tommy took Jaden to a private dining space where all of their DC besties were hiding and waiting to celebrate with them all night long!
