The summer of 2014 had just begun. Bruce flew up from New Jersey to see his close college friend and get a taste of city life. They had tickets to see the Zac Brown Band in Fenway before Bruce left, which had prompted the reunion. They decided to start the festivities a little early at a new country bar in the area - Loretta’s Last Call. As fate would have it, Jen took a break from studying (for the first time in about a year) and ventured to the very same bar on that warm June night. After eating some pretty lousy nachos, Jen stepped on the dance floor and spotted a really good looking fella across the room. She instantly took a liking to the back of his head, as this was all she could see. She noticed his fitted white thermal and dark grey shorts. Yes, her first impression of Bruce was his excellent fashion sense. Before she could look away, he turned around and walked right up to her. Right away, he said, “My friends and I are about to leave, but I just had to tell you how beautiful you are.” Jen was caught off guard and quickly asked Bruce for his number. When he told her he was from New Jersey, she didn’t care. Bruce’s friends left that night, but he stayed with Jen. And he’s been right by her side every since. For two long years, they lived more than 300 miles apart. They commuted back and forth every weekend, no matter how difficult the week had been. They never gave up and they made it work. If you don’t believe in love at first sight, think again. There’s not a doubt in my mind that these two were meant to find one another. From the moment we met, it was you <3.
