Our story begins on December 4, 2011 in Lexington KY. We were introduced to each other by our mutual friends, Andy and Angela Love. That night we went to a local bands concert and immediately hit it off. Jaime had become friends with some of the girls that Aaron grew up with and unbeknownst to us, we had actually been in each other’s Facebook photos 3 years prior to even meeting! We talked for hours every day during Jaime’s senior year winter break and began dating in January of 2012. We were inseparable after that.
Jaime moved home to Pittsburgh at the end of summer of 2012, and we began a long-distance relationship. At the time Aaron was working 4 days a week which allowed for a lot of long weekends in both Pittsburgh and Louisville. For over a year Aaron would drive 6 hours to Pittsburgh every other weekend to see Jaime.
Towards the end of summer 2013 Aaron moved to Pittsburgh to live full time. We got our Golden Retriever Bailey in summer 2014 right before we bought our first home together in the suburbs outside of Pittsburgh.
Fast forward to April 7, 2018. Aaron woke up early that morning to surprise Jaime with a proposal. Aaron started by waking Jaime up and giving our dog Bailey a toy ring box with a tennis ball ring inside, Bailey approved! Jaime was a little confused until she looked over and saw Aaron on his knee with a ring. She said YES! Some of you may know this, but we are already married. We were legally married on September 4, 2018 in a small courthouse wedding!
We have been on a roller coaster of ups and downs in the 8 years since we met. We have lost family members and had lots of medical issues, but all it did was make our bond stronger and stronger. We can’t wait to start the next chapter of our lives together and we are so glad that you will be here with us to celebrate!
