Victoria's Idea

Jeff was up at the bar with his friend Albert, grabbing another round for the group, when a girl walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. It was Victoria — Paige's older sister — and she got straight to the point: "You should date my sister."

They talked for a few minutes. Jeff found out who Paige was, they figured out the age thing, and before they went their separate ways he had her Instagram handle. He messaged Paige the moment he got home that night. They talked until neither of them could keep their eyes open. Victoria, it turns out, was onto something.

The First Date

After weeks of late-night messages, Jeff and Paige headed to Brick & Barrel for their first date. Over Old Fashioneds — Jeff's drink of choice, then and now — the conversation flowed effortlessly. What they liked to do, what they did for work, where they wanted their lives to go. The kind of conversation that doesn't feel like a first date at all.

At some point Jeff got up to use the bathroom, and when he came back Paige mentioned that their waitress had stopped by the table to say how cute they were together. Even strangers could see it. By the end of the night, Jeff already knew — Paige was exactly who he'd been looking for.

Making It Official

What had started as a random tap on the shoulder at a bar had turned into the best part of both their days. Jeff and Paige made things official, and just like that, every plan got better with the other person in it.

2023 – 2026

Building Our World

Early on — still new enough that it said something — Jeff drove to Ohio for Paige's birthday to see Morgan Wallen. That became the template: show up, make it count, figure out the rest later.

The trips kept coming after that. A week in Mexico with Paige's family, multiple households all-in together, the kind of trip that shows you exactly who someone is when they're around the people they love most. Corolla on the Outer Banks every fall with Jeff's family — a tradition now, the kind that quietly becomes non-negotiable. And when it was just the two of them, there was Tampa and St. Pete: wandering, eating, drinking, no particular plan beyond finding the next good thing.

The years filled in fast. Life got fuller with each one.

She Said Yes

Paige's cousin Macenzie and her boyfriend Brendan were coming in from Illinois for a visit, and that was reason enough for a night out: the G6 crew — Jeff, Paige, Devin, Kyle, Victoria, and Chris — plus Macenzie and Brendan, all heading to New Hope for drinks and fries at Stella.

As the day got closer, the plan started to unravel. One by one, everyone decided they'd just drive up separately. Jeff and Paige set off together, while the rest of the group was supposedly right behind them — "on their way," they said. They never showed.

What Paige didn't know was that Jeff had already picked his parking spot — one that let them walk along the river on the way in, so she wouldn't think twice about why they were down by the water instead of already at the table. He found a spot with a view of the water and the bridge, and got down on one knee. She said yes.

Afterward, they finally went in for the rservation — just the two of them, savoring the moment before anyone else knew. Then they drove over to Warwick Brewing, where their friends and family were waiting, and celebrated with the people who'd known all along.

DATE TBD

Forever Starts Here

It started with a stranger at a bar, a bold sister, and a late-night DM. It ends — or really begins — at Location TBD, surrounded by the people who have been part of this story all along. We're so glad you're one of them.
