How we met
“What started as uncertainty quickly turned into something undeniable after a spontaneous series of back-to-back dates A magical night in Boston’s North End confirmed what the heart already knew this was the beginning of forever. Every moment with Alan is filled with laughter, joy, and an effortless kind of fun that makes even the simplest days unforgettable”

“When he had opened the door, I felt an instant sense of comfort like I had known him forever. What started with three unforgettable days of back-to-back dates quickly became something deeper. His openness, laughter, and the way he loves every part of me even the messy parts showed me I had found home. With Jay, love isn’t just felt it’s lived, every single day.”

The Proposal
“ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
—1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“I proposed to Alan during our trip to the Caribbean. We were on a private boat charter, and the captain anchored us in the open ocean between the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. He asked us to pose for a photo, but he was actually recording a video of the proposal.”

“For our one-year anniversary, we had lunch at the restaurant where we went on our first date and dinner at one of our favorite spots. What Jay didn’t know was that the entire evening had been carefully planned. When dessert arrived, the plate read, 'Will you marry me?' As I got down on one knee and proposed, the entire moment was captured on video.”
