JACK & TESSA Fore-ever Together How did you meet?
We are a Hinge success story. At the time we matched, Jack was only in Green Bay for spring break from grad school. Our first date at Main Street Bourbon started with cocktails, a lot of chatting, and somehow ended up lasting seven hours after an escape room and brewery stop. We clicked instantly and knew we were a great match. When did you get engaged? May 31, 2025 Tell us the proposal story. The day started like any other Saturday, with Jack on the golf course and me riding shotgun with breakfast in hand. The real surprise came later during a picnic at Pamperin Park. After wandering for the perfect spot, Jack asked me to stand up, got on one knee, and presented the most beautiful ring. Family and friends were waiting nearby to celebrate, making it a day we will never forget. Tell us about your ring. I have always loved oval diamonds, and Jack found the perfect one. The gold band features diamonds on either side, highlighting the main stone’s beauty. It was exactly what I hoped for.
JACK & JILL A Tale as Old as Time How did you meet?
We’re high school sweethearts! We first met at 16 years old in our sophomore speech class back in 2013. Over the course of the year, we got to know each other and began dating our junior year. Over the last decade, we’ve lived in four different states and spent nearly four years in a long-distance relationship during college. No matter the distance, we always made time for each other—love always wins. We’ve now called Manhattan home together for the past three years. When did you get engaged? September 19, 2025 Tell us the proposal story. Jack proposed on Porto Mós Beach in Lagos, Portugal. He had hired a professional photographer who was sitting on the beach by the cliffs pretending to be a tourist. As we walked past him and stopped in front of one of the cliff facades, Jack reminisced on our relationship and told me how much he loved me and that he had a little surprise. The surprise, of course, was him getting down on one knee and proposing. Tell us about your ring. Before the proposal, I had noted a few features of my dream ring, which came to life beautifully with the help of Chloe Alpert. It features a stunning elongated cushion- cut diamond with half pavé on each side, set in 18K gold with white gold claw prongs and a low setting supported by a small band that lets in plenty of light. It sparkles even in the dark!
