We met on October 15th, 2022. Unexpected for both of us, we found ourselves making accounts on the dating app, "Hinge". Upon chatting, we quickly realized we had a lot in common. Most shocking, we both went to college in Charlotte, North Carolina just 15 miles from each other (JC attended UNC Charlotte, Paige attended Queens University of Charlotte). Once we connected these dots, it seemed impossible that we were both here in South Central PA.

We had our first date in Harrisburg at Paige's Penn Street apartment. We went to the grocery store & bought ingredients to cook dinner together. The evening was filled with endless conversation & realizations of shared interests. Getting to know each other more, it became hilarious that we met on a dating app. That was such an out of character thing for either of us to do. But, hey, we think God just has a sense of humor.

Two short weeks later, Paige's dad, Pete, came over to her apartment to meet JC. Pete & JC ripped out weeds & did yard work together while conversing about agriculture & agronomy. It is probably safe to say Paige wasn't the only one falling in love that day, Pete certainly did too :)

Less than a month later, JC's parents, Clark & Steph drove up to Pennsylvania from their home in Greensboro, NC for Thanksgiving. Paige met them for the first time and so did Pete & Chrystal. It was instantly unbelievable how many similarities our families shared. We spent the evening laughing, telling stories, and beginning the most effortless relationship.

In the following 12 months, there were many road trips meeting extended family & friends. We spent weekends getting to know each other further through travel to local areas (Falling Water, Cape May, Lititz, Williamsport, Frederick, & Pittsburgh to name a few). In this time, JC inherently became a Steelers fan when he attended his first NFL game with the Ramsey's.

It didn't take long for us to fall in love & quickly become best friends. Over the last year & half, we both felt like we gained new families. It was only fitting that JC chose to propose in Harrisburg, where we spent our first date. The joy & love we were immediately met with from our family & friends was further confirmation that God's plan for us was in motion.

We are beyond excited to start this next chapter of our life as husband & wife. We are honored to share our special day with all of you!
