We're Getting Married!

Jack and Mandy first met in 2019 before their senior year of high school while both working at a summer camp, New Life Ranch. Fast forward to a pandemic bringing their senior years to an abrupt end, they were both eager to head back to camp for the full summer. While on staff at New Life Ranch, Jack and Mandy became quick friends and shared a lot in common such as their future alma mater - Oklahoma State. At OSU, Jack and Mandy continued growing their friendship and Mandy's friends will tell you she almost immediately had a crush on the sweet boy from camp. Almost 3 years would pass when Jack and Mandy found themselves back at New Life Ranch for the summer again in 2022 - only this time as co-counselors. Jack and Mandy spent the summer pouring into high schoolers together through the Leadership Development program. Early in the summer, it became clear to Jack that he also liked Mandy as he got to work alongside her and see her heart for the LORD and for others. Jack asked her on a date once camp was over and Mandy said yes! They had a pizza picnic at camp and saw a movie, then soon after began officially dating. Throughout their almost four years of dating, Mandy and Jack have experienced many unforgettable memories together. They've enjoyed celebrating friends, roadtrips to concerts, going to many sporting events, exploring new coffee shops, and dinners to celebrate life's events. They have loved getting to grow together in their dating relationship and push each other towards God in all areas of their lives. Jack proposed on May 9, 2025 at the Gathering Place in Tulsa, OK. They cannot wait to celebrate the gift of marriage with their dearest friends next May!
