It all began in the digital realm of Hinge, where Jan and Ian's love story took a unique turn. Ian, a passionate fan of the Lord of the Rings series, couldn't resist sharing his opinion on his favorite character—a character that happened to differ from Jan's choice. What started as a friendly debate soon transformed into a captivating conversation that neither of them wanted to end. After a few days of engaging chats, Jan and Ian decided it was time to meet in person. Ian suggested something unconventional for a first date: Korean BBQ. But there was a catch—Ian had never experienced the joy of sizzling meats at a KBBQ joint before! Jan, ever the thoughtful one, had reservations about this daring choice for their first date and kindly suggested an alternative. They settled on 'I Love Sushi,' a charming local sushi restaurant in West Nashville, as their rendezvous spot. Little did they know, their first date would be a snowstorm-filled adventure. The snowy weather may have cut their date short, but it didn't dampen their spirits. In fact, it only added a touch of magic to their budding connection. From that moment forward, Jan and Ian never looked back. Their love story blossomed through shared laughter, delicious sushi rolls, and the unexpected charm of a snowstorm. Join us in celebrating their journey as they embark on this exciting new chapter together! ❄️🍣💕

Once upon a time, in the enchanting island of Guam, a love story unfolded. Jan had been away from her homeland for three and a half years, and she returned with her beloved Ian for a vacation filled with friends, family, and cherished moments. Their week on Guam was a whirlwind of love and laughter, but there was one persistent request from Ian that caught Jan's attention - a trip to the beach. Jan, not the biggest fan of the beach, would often point out the window and humorously tell Ian, "The beach is right there!" But on the second to last night of their island adventure, something magical was about to happen. Ian had finally persuaded Jan to join him for an evening at Gun Beach, with her thinking it was a quick pit stop on their way to pick up food from Capriciossa, a beloved family favorite restaurant. As they strolled down Gun Beach, Jan couldn't help but wonder why Ian was leading her so far down the shore, away from the other tourists enjoying the picturesque scene. Little did she know, he had something extraordinary in mind. With the sun setting in the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, Ian turned to Jan, and in a moment that would forever change their lives, he got down on one knee. Surrounded by the gentle lull of the ocean waves and the warm glow of the setting sun, Ian asked if Jan would marry him. With tears glistening in her eyes, Jan, overwhelmed with joy and love, uttered the phrase, "Of course!" Their love story, which had journeyed from Nashville, Tennessee, to the shores of Guam, had reached a beautiful new chapter. Now, Jan and Ian invite you to be a part of their love story as they embark on their journey together. Stay tuned for more details about their upcoming wedding celebration, where their love will be celebrated once again, this time with family and friends from near and far. Join them in the next chapter of their love story as they say 'I do' and begin their happily ever after.
