Jillian and Christopher’s love story began in 2019 within the joyous halls of an elementary school in Rochester, New York. Christopher, a dedicated social worker, and Jillian, a vibrant teacher, quickly connected over their mutual care for children and their shared values. After several joyous years together, Christopher surprised Jillian with a trip to Boston, Massachusetts—under the guise of celebrating his birthday with a Boston Celtics basketball game. However, he had something far more meaningful planned. On a beautiful spring day along the Charles River, he got down on one knee and asked Jillian for her hand in marriage. 

The magic of that Boston proposal stayed with them, eventually inspiring a bold decision to relocate to Massachusetts in the summer of 2023. Embracing this new chapter, Jillian continued shaping young minds as a third-grade teacher, while Christopher remained devoted to supporting families as a social worker. Their love for the city deepened, and countless adventures unravled as they made New England their new home. This past summer their adventures continued as Christopher and Jillian welcomed the most adorable Golden Retriever puppy into their home, Kobe Bean, who has brought even more love and laughter into their lives. Now, with their wedding on the horizon, the couple eagerly awaits their intimate elopement in beautiful Saint Lucia this November—ready to begin their next adventure, hand in hand.
