What started as a high school rivalry turned into something neither of us expected. Jayden and I went to rival high schools just 30 miles apart—Bulldogs versus Tigers—where the competition was (and still is) real, whether it was on the field, at games, or just in school spirit. But fate had other plans. We both ended up at Peru State College, and after one casual hangout, we’ve been inseparable ever since. From that moment on, our story has been filled with love, growth, and countless memories—some spontaneous and silly, others quiet and meaningful. One of the most unforgettable moments came when he proposed in Galveston, Texas, a place that holds so many childhood memories for me. Surrounded by my entire family, it was the most perfect and heartfelt “yes” of my life. Now we’re diving into wedding planning with full hearts (and maybe a few spreadsheets), excited for everything ahead. We can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who mean the most to us—you’ve each played a part in our journey, and we’re so grateful to have you with us as we step into this new chapter.
