Jaylon & Zoe

Jaylon and Zoe met in Baltimore in the spring of 2023. Jaylon had just moved to Baltimore to begin Organized Team Activities with the Baltimore Ravens, and Zoe had just returned home after completing her spring semester of college in Boston. They met online and after chatting for about a week, decided to go on a sushi date. Because the conversation was so good and neither were ready to say goodbye, Zoe invited him to join her to watch the sunset at her favorite place near her childhood home- a place which she had always told her friends "she would never bring a boy to unless it was her future husband". As they watched the sunset, and continued to talk, they both realized that they had met someone special. A few days later, Zoe moved to Washington, D.C. for a summer long internship, but this did not stop Jaylon from seeing her. Within a week of her being moved into her new apartment, they had already made plans to see each other in D.C. They spent their second date exploring the Foggy Bottom borough, going to museums, and their first of many monumenting trips that summer. For their third, Jaylon drove 20 hours from Dallas, TX to Washington D.C., making sure he got to see her again before his fall camp began. This time, their dates consisted of hiking on the George Washington Trail, exploring Old Town Alexandria, and standing in line for an hour, just to try Thomas Sweet Ice Cream, the most famous ice cream in Georgetown. When Zoe moved back to Baltimore at the end of that summer, the two were inseparable. As Jaylon's "Personal Baltimore Tour Guide", as she called it, Zoe introduced Jaylon to all of her favorite hometown places and foods, making Baltimore a truly special place for them both. The last three years have been the best years of both of their lives- filled with dinner dates in Boston, exploring the East Coast, having silly dance parties while cooking together, hiking a canyon in Texas, and moving across the country together. After getting engaged, Zoe and Jaylon moved in together full time and became pawrents to their puppy, Terron. Since meeting, Jaylon and Zoe have had the opportunity to grow as individuals and together and can't wait to spend their days as husband and wife. Life with one another is truly brighter for them both. They are excited to celebrate their marriage surrounded by their friends and family on their special day and can't wait to see you in Maryland in June!
