Not many couples can say they got engaged TWICE, but since Rachel and Jackie BOTH wanted to propose, they had not one, but two special moments. They met five years ago on a dating app and had their first date at a breakfast restaurant in Jackie's hometown. When it came time to propose, Rachel surprised Jackie by proposing at a lake near where they used to live in Virginia. It was a complete surprise to Jackie, and they hosted a party that night to celebrate! Not to be outdone, Jackie surprised Rachel with a sunset proposal at a lighthouse on Block Island, while their friends snapped photographs! Of course, both said yes!
So when the wedding planning started in earnest, it only made sense that another famous Lighthouse should feature in their venue choice - thank you ! Rachel and Jackie share many active hobbies together: camping, hiking, exercising and going to the gym together, and they love hanging out with friends at shows, movies and dinners. But some of their favorite moments together are quiet times when they are cooking together, reading to each other or playing scrabble. Because they are used to a relationship, they have found many hidden gems while traveling together. Just like the lighthouses they love, even when living apart, the light and love they have for each other has always helped them find their way back. Rachel and Jackie, best wishes for a long and happy life - and more time together than you have to spend apart.
