Sara and Jordan

"If we're doing pizza, let's do it right..." That led to a date at none other than Lou Malnati's in downtown Chicago on a frigid February night in 2015. A million bad jokes and laughs later, Sara was charmed, and Jordan was smitten. In June 2020, during a trip to Sarasota, Florida, Jordan proposed on Lido Key beach on a rainy evening (they did cannonballs in the pool and popped champagne to celebrate, duh). The couple was married at Ringling Museum's Ca d'Za

“Laura and I met the summer of 2016 and really hit it off! I remember thinking that I had so much in common with this girl; it was scary. We were like the same person.

A bit skeptical given the geographical distance and logistical hurdles (12-hour time difference), they weren't sure what would come of their flash-in-the pan spark. Remarkably, over a couple of years, the very long-distance relationship prevailed and thrived. That littl
