Jose and Lindsey met at their first jobs out of college. They became friends along with a core group of others who had just moved to Chicago. Over the coming months, a flirty friendship grew as they got to know each other playing soccer, finding reasons to stop by each other’s offices, and at other social gatherings where they finally realized there was something more. They dated for a year and a half before the exciting, but dark cloud, of their next jobs put them in an overseas long distance relationship. The next 4 years, they chased each other around the world, having 48 hour dates in Shanghai or a few times were lucky to be staffed at the same location. Finally Jose's road career came to a close and they moved in together and really started making Chicago their home. Flash forward to August 2022 where they took a spontaneous trip to Italy. After days of carrying the ring around the countryside of Italy, Jose popped the question in Rome on a rooftop at sunset overlooking the Colosseum! And after finally allowing Jose to put the ring on her finger, Lindsey of course said yes! They cannot wait to continue their story with all their family and friends on November 11th, 2023!
