How We Met: Our journey began in 2009 at Enloe High School, introduced by Alli's brother, Sean, and a circle of mutual friends. Alli had a crush on Jared during her freshman year, but Jared remained oblivious throughout high school. Even as we both attended the same college, our paths never quite aligned for dating. Our Reunion: Fast forward to 2020, amidst the height of the COVID pandemic, Jared found a unique way to reconnect. He started sending Alli numerous pictures of his kitten, Leena. As it turned out, this was Jared's clever way of trying to ask Alli to be his plus one at her own brother's wedding. And it worked...sorta? Our Love Story: From high school crushes to a pandemic reconnection, our love story is a testament to perfect timing and undeniable connection. We are thrilled to continue our journey together and can't wait to celebrate our wedding with you!
