Jacalyn and I started out as friends, hanging out in our separate groups. All I knew was she was really pretty and shy. But when she got comfortable she became hilarious and witty. Her philosophies had me interested, and I was happy to meet someone who thought so outside-the-box. It didn't take long for us to realize we were good together, and suddenly we were dating! In 2017, Jaci came out to Fort Collins to go to school at Colorado State University and I followed, starting my career as a carpenter. Jaci went on to graduate cum laude in 2021. Meanwhile, we had gotten two dogs, a cat, and were in a house. We connected through nature and music, and made tons of memories together. Two years later, I took her out to the wilderness in Northern Minnesota (one of our favorite places) and asked her to be my wife. She said yes, and we decided a fun summer wedding for our two huge families would be just the ticket! We are so excited to celebrate our life together with all of you!
