Thank you so much for opening our website and taking the time to read our post. If you haven’t already taken a peak at the rest of the website, please take the time to do so after this quick read. However to preface, you may have noticed we are doing things very untraditionally, but stay with us here, because you might just love our idea as it has made this process super fun and fulfilling. That being said, LETS TALK WEDDING!!!! We have decided to do a small intimate marriage at the Orlando County Courthouse with our parents. However, it was super imperative to the both of us to ensure our most cherished family and friends got to be apart of this special moment. So we have decided to share a LIVE viewing of our wedding ceremony so that everyone gets a chance to be involved on our journey. This limits travel, stay accommodations, etc. to make sure everyone we would love to be there can equally be apart of our experience. A Teams link will be provided below and you can also find a link with dial-in information and code on our “Schedule” tab above. If you have any questions or concerns please check out our FAQ’s. We did our best to answer any foreseen questions that could arise about this unique day. Also, feel free to reach out to us (The Bride and Groom) directly, our parents or our Maids of Honor/Best Men. If you don’t know who they are, check out our “wedding party” linked above. And if you want to get to know our story a little bit more, keep reading for more below. Can’t wait to share this moment with you very soon. You're invited to Jonas And Catherine Wedding Friday, December 27, 2024 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm (EST) https://teams.live.com/meet/9321772254322?p=RQgsa5amfZNtUMzQAu Tap on the link or paste it in a browser to join.
In a cozy apartment filled with laughter and the sound of dice rolling, a game night brought together two strangers, Catherine and Jonas. As fate would have it, they were paired as game partners. From the moment they teamed up, their connection was undeniable. The playful banter and shared excitement over every win created an instant bond. Both working in HR, they were there to unwind from their hectic weeks. As the evening progressed, the games turned into karaoke, and the pair decided to take the stage together to sing “Just a Friend” by Mario. As they sang, they flowed together, revealing a spark that neither could ignore. The playful lyrics took on new meaning, hinting at a budding connection that was both exciting and profound. After that night, Catherine and Jonas began dating, discovering how closely aligned they were on core values and beliefs. Both rooted in their faith, they made God the foundation of their relationship, ensuring that their love was nurtured by shared morals and principles. They regularly hold monthly check-ins, where they ask each other thoughtful relationship questions, deepening their understanding of one another and reinforcing their commitment to growth. As their relationship blossomed, they made a significant decision to move to Louisiana together, excited to start a new chapter in their lives. They found a charming home, a blank canvas where they could build their dreams. In this space, they infused their love with warmth, laughter, and a vision of black excellence. Their home became a sanctuary filled with love, purpose, and the promise of a future. On a warm summer afternoon, August 2, 2024, Jonas was filled with excitement and a hint of nervousness as he prepared for a special night. After their recent move they had planned a housewarming celebration to share their joy with family and friends. Little did Catherine know that this gathering would be more than just a celebration of their new beginning—it would be the moment Jonas proposed. Fast forward to December 27, 2024, the day we would like to officially become husband and wife. We chose the Orlando courthouse for its simplicity and intimate setting, surrounded by friends and family to witness our journey. We would love to create a ceremony with rich cultural significance, embodying our commitment to celebrating our heritage and the love we share. To speak of our dreams, our faith, and the unwavering support we promise each other.
