We said “I do”

It all started just after New Year’s Eve when Jacqueline and Lorenzo met on Bumble. While it may sound cliché, love works in mysterious ways. Jacqueline’s attention was instantly drawn to Lorenzo, not just for his resemblance to Matthew McConaughey but for his witty humor, sealed with a quote from Grandma’s Boy. Taking the first step, Jacqueline sent a message that sparked lighthearted conversation and laughs. Their connection deepened with each chat, and after their first phone call—where Lorenzo charmed her with his New York accent—Jacqueline was hooked. That call lasted hours, filled with stories, jokes, and a little talk about luck (maybe they’ll win the lottery someday!). Eventually, Jacqueline gathered the courage to ask Lorenzo out. She texted him confidently, “What are you doing tonight?” and when he replied, “Not much,” she seized the opportunity, booking an Italian restaurant 45 minutes away to play it cool. They met at Visconti’s Ristorante, and from the moment they were face-to-face, all of Jacqueline’s nerves melted away. It felt like they had known each other forever. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and by the end of the night, they weren’t ready to part ways. They sat in Lorenzo’s car, talking until the early hours of the morning. Their first kiss sealed the moment—a magical one that felt like the beginning of something special. As weeks passed, “Text me when you get home safe” turned into “I’m on my way over.” Things progressed beautifully, and soon Lorenzo was ready to meet Jacqueline’s son, Jordan. Their connection was instant. Jordan soon began asking for “Lorenzo days,” where the two would spend time together while Jacqueline worked. They went on adventures, from blueberry picking to hiking, and created cuddle puddles with their corgis. Lorenzo wasn’t just falling in love with Jacqueline—he was building a family. When Lorenzo knew this was the family he wanted forever, he did something special: he asked Jordan for his blessing before proposing to Jacqueline. Jordan, overjoyed, gave him a big hug and an enthusiastic yes. Then, on Christmas Eve 2022, Lorenzo surprised Jordan with a silver necklace before turning to Jacqueline and asking her to marry him. She, of course, said yes. Today, Jacqueline, Lorenzo, and Jordan’s bond continues to grow. From their first Bumble message to becoming a loving family, their journey is filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories.
