Our Story

The Wedding Website of Jarod Collier and Maggie Brenneman
Here are some of our favorite memories over the last few years.
Boy Meets Girl

Boy Meets Girl

We first laid eyes on each other in college. It was August 2018 at Grand Valley State University., We actually met in November 2019 at Maggie's apartment complex, where Jarod's best friend Maz lived.,

We were both in the Honors College, and Jarod led Maggie's freshman honors orientation. We even hung out with some of the same people, but perhaps by design, we didn't get to know each other until the timing was right. This is how our story begins.
