Jessica Roman Affianced

Jessica Roman recently announced her engagement to Cory Cross, with a 2014 wedding planned.

Jessica, a registered nurse at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Towson, Maryland, is the daughter of Mark Roman, youngest son of the late Bob and Dorothy Fieg Roman (and the youngest of the Fieg cousins from the Lothar Fieg Sr. limb of the family tree), and his first wife Maureen.

Cory, head chef/kitchen manager at Silverspring Mining Company in Perry Hall, Maryland, accompanied Jessica to Clearwater, Florida in March to help celebrate his future mother-in-law's 50th birthday.  He popped the question on March 23 and, according to Jessica's aunt, Anne Roman, "he actually asked Mark's permission and also spoke to Maureen before proposing...."

In a very romantic gesture, Cory proposed with the ring his father gave to his mother when they were 17 years old.  Says Jess, "They're still happily married.  [Cory] bought a diamond and we plan to build the ring together, like we will build our marriage."

The couple have been dating for four years and currently share an apartment in Hamilton, Maryland with their cat, Rocky.

We wish them nothing but the best!
