We are getting married!

In the heart of Pittsburgh, where the city's pulse beats strong and the spirit of community thrives, our love story unfolds. It's a tale as timeless as the city itself, rooted in the everyday magic of a local Eat n' Park resturant and the serendipity of a takeout window during the quiet days of COVID. Addison, with a smile as warm as the comfort food served, and Jordan, a steadfast protector of the city's streets, were two souls charting their courses through life's uncertainties. Their paths crossed not with the fanfare of fireworks, but with the steady rhythm of weekly encounters, each takeout order building a "Pittsburgh" bridge between two hearts. It wasn't a storybook romance from the start, no. Like most love story's, they had to work at their love-fight for it at times, like they still continue to do every single day. But, this love- it was something far more real. It was the kind of love that grows quietly but deeply, like the roots of an old oak in a storied park. Addison will never forget the day Jordan stood tall beside his truck with Wylie sticking her head out the back window for the first time- fore she had only seen him through a window. A moment etched in time, a simple yet profound beginning to their journey. Wylie, Jordan's loyal companion, was more than just a dog; she was the thread that wove their lives together. Through shared laughter and tales of Wylie's and Addison's dogs antics, they found common ground, a love for four-legged friends that mirrored the loyalty they would come to cherish in each other. Their first date was a cozy evening, nestled on Jordan's couch with what was supposed to be only one movie, but quickly turned into 3 or 4. It was there, in the quiet comfort of shared silence and learning about each other, that Addison realized she never wanted to leave. From that night on, they were inseparable, two halves of a whole, finding joy in the simple pleasure of each other's company. Jordan, the youngest of a vibrant family of 14 siblings, brought the richness of a big family's love to their union. His father, Raymond Loscar, whose memory is honored every day, left a legacy of love and strength. In a twist of fate, Addison's last name, Raymond, became a symbol of their destined connection, a thread woven through the fabric of their lives, binding them together in a tapestry of shared history and future dreams. And then, on a very hot July 4th evening, beneath a canopy of fireworks where the three rivers meet, Jordan asked Addison to be his forever. The sky erupted in color, each burst a testament to their love, as he knelt before her, offering not just a ring, but a promise of a lifetime together. Together, they embody such a spirit of Pittsburgh, from cheering on the Pirates and the Steelers to reveling in the vibrant life of Rivers Casino, North Shore, The Strip District, Southside, and so many other Pittsburgh staples. Their love is a reflection of the city they call home—resilient, passionate, and full of heart. As they stand before family and friends, ready to embark on life's greatest adventure, their story is a testament to the belief that love can be found in the most unexpected places, between the most unlikely of pairs. It's a Pittsburgh love story, through and through, and it's only just beginning.
