The Proposal

Jason Borso and Caroline Dooley were both in her very first class at Moravian College, but didn’t connect until months after graduation. On Halloween of 2021, Jason posed as a trick-or-treater at the door and surprised Caroline with the treat of her life on one knee. 


The Big Day


They were married at the Old Chapel at the bottom of Bethlehem’s Main Street, the same street where they had their first date. With this in mind, Jason’s signature drink was “The Journey on Main,” served with cocktail napkins of their dog Winnie saying, “I do, too.” An intimate group of 55 loved ones joined them for a whimsical wedding styled after a romantic English garden party. Their invites had been beautiful watercolors and each guest received a small painting of the Old Chapel. Flowers filled the 1741 Terrace Room at Hotel Bethlehem where spectacular windows overlook the street that started it all.
