Our Love Story

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Baltimore

MD

It all started when…

The lights came on at ‘New’ Murphy’s. It was time to finish your beer or vodka soda and catch a cab back to campus, but not before a quick stroll up the block to grab a slice from Pizza Mart. Courtney and her girlfriends walked up York Road after a long night of dancing by the jukebox. Her shoes, stylish but torturous, had become unbearable. When she stopped to kick off her shoes, the pain in her feet was met with relief, but her slow pace placed her amidst the group of guys who were walking behind them. Among them was Jimmy, whose friendly smile and quick wit sparked a conversation that would change both of their lives forever. Little did they know, that seemingly minor detour to soothe her aching feet would lead Courtney to the love of her life. From that moment on, they walked together

Our First Date

Our first date, December 2, 2016, at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, followed by dinner at Shake Shack. Courtney was so excited and nervous that she could hardly finish her meal – Jimmy’s company was the perfect distraction. To this day, we still indulge in the occasional shack burger and fries to fondly remember that day.

Our First Home

July 1, 2021, marked a significant milestone in our journey together as we signed (a lot) of paperwork and entered our first home in Canton. Little did we know that this place would become the backdrop for countless cherished memories, including the day we brought our beloved dog Cannoli home.

Our Engagement

Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2023, we experienced a life-changing moment at the Pagoda in Patterson Park. Jimmy managed to pull off the ultimate surprise proposal, leaving Courtney completely speechless. With a heartfelt ‘yes,’ we sealed our six-and-a-half-year love story in a memory that will live forever.
