Our story began in September, 2015. Jack and I matched on Tinder (a dating app) when we both "swiped right." At first, nothing came out of this silly Tinder match, but inevitably, things changed. To keep my attention, Jack would repeatedly delete and reactivate Tinder so he could keep matching with me. I thought this was cute, and decided to give him a chance after a few months. It was a long road to the first date, but when it finally arrived, Jack decided to "fake stand me up," as he was totally unresponsive to me the entire day, and at the time he was supposed to pick me up, he texted me saying he had just woken up. I was furious, but seconds later he called me, and was kidding; he was waiting outside the door. Despite his antics, I am so glad I decided to walk out of my apartment door because instantly we clicked. This playfulness is a common thread in our relationship, making us best friends and soul mates. Life is never dull or impossible when we are together. After we connected over many dates filled with endless talking and laughter, our friendship continued to grow and our love blossomed. We connected over our love for people and experiences. The relationships in our lives are what fulfill and sustain us. Since our relationship began, we have both started our careers as elementary school teachers in Richmond, Virginia! It has been irreplaceable to finish school and begin my career with Jack by my side. He has been a constant supporter, helper, and motivator! Our love is rooted in respect for each other, compassion, our family and friends, honesty, acceptance, and faith. We complement and strengthen each other through our differences, and have experienced so much more life because of each other. We thank our family and friends for their support and love, because we couldn't do it without you all. We look forward to celebrating with you at OUR WEDDING - this is the most exciting journey of our lives! All of our love always, Bri + Jack
