We met at 15 years old through mutual friends at the pool one summer day. What I didn’t know at the time was that Jaden had leaned over to his friend and said, “I’m going to marry that girl.” (He didn’t tell me that until much later.) From the moment we met, he followed me around all day, asking me endless questions and doing everything he could to get to know me. By the end of that long summer day, I finally gave him my number, and our conversation carried on late into the night. It took me a month to finally say yes, but his persistence showed me something I would learn over and over again throughout the years — that I would always be loved and taken care of. Eight years later, we have built a lifetime of memories together, with so many stories still left to tell. We cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter and share those stories with all of you on our special day.
