The Wedding Website of Jayson Downing and Carleigh Golightly
Jayson and Carleigh met in an unconventional way... a dating app. Carleigh's first question to Jayson: "what is the best book you've read in the last year and why"? Carleigh was shocked when Jayson answered with her own favorite book. The connection was obvious even on their first date. They immediately bonded over mutual fondness for the same literature, faith and fitness. Carleigh was impressed by Jayson's confidence and clarity, and Jayson loved Carleigh's drive and sweetness. Then COVID happened... Over the next 10 months, the two navigated the ups and downs of a pandemic. They laughed, cried, prayed, played lots of board games, and worked out (a lot) but mostly grew stronger as a couple. When Jayson proposed to Carleigh at the site of their first date in October, she could barely contain her joy enough to say "yes". We are overjoyed to share these photos of our time together and hope you enjoy them too!
