Erin O’Connor & Jake Merhige

November 23, 2024
Set up by mutual friends, Erin and Jake met in 2016 at James Madison University, and their friendship blossomed into romance. After college, the couple settled in northern Virginia, taking a trip to New York City in 2023, where Jake popped the question. The duo, who moved to the Holy City last summer, eloped on a sun-soaked afternoon, exchanging vows in the gazebo beneath the sweeping branches of White Point Garden’s oak trees. This month, Erin and Jake will head abroad to host their reception in the romantic coastal town of Positano, Italy.
