Baton Rouge, LA

How We Met

Emily: It all started at the second grade spelling bee. Jayden was given the word "enough" and forgot the "h," but they encouraged him to keep trying. Nobody else got a second chance. Although he won the spelling bee, he most definitely cheated, despite what he says. I threw a tantrum and stomped my little foot at him...but we became the best of friends in the third grade and met at the monkey bars at recess daily! We were friends for years, then separated into different classes, and eventually became the very best of friends our junior year of high school, becoming inseparable since! We started dating half-way through our senior year of high school, became LSU tigers together, and here we are! Jayden: It all started in the second grade spelling bee, where I won fair and square much to the disgust of my opponent/future wife. We became best friends in third grade and hung out at the monkey bars every day at recess. As we moved to different classes and friend groups, we stopped talking for a while. But, thanks to God's wonderful plan, we were somehow roped into the same friend group again our junior year in high school. We reconnected and became best friends again. This time, our friendship blossomed into a loving relationship, and we both went to LSU! And now, I can't get enoug(h) of my incredible soulmate.
