Jamie and Leo’s lifelong romance began before they even met. Their parents were close friends and frequently discussed the relationship status of their oldest children. When the timing was right, Jamie’s father passed along her phone number and expected Leo to put it to good use. Several months later, Leo gathered up the courage to call Jamie and nervously ask, “Do you want to see a movie and maybe grab dinner?” Although he wasn’t overtly romantic in his initial inquiry, Jamie returned from their first date with a smile on her face that hasn’t dissolved since that warm July evening. Nine months later the couple moved in together and by Valentines Day weekend 2011, Leo popped the question during a romantic evening downtown Chicago.
On February 24, 2012 the sun set gorgeously on Jamie and Leo’s beach wedding ceremony. The newlyweds couldn’t have been happier celebrating their undying love for one another with the support of their close family and friends. The weather was perfect and the evening festivities were filled with fun dancing at Marco Island’s Marriot Resort.
