How we met!

01/28/2022

Jenna and Riley were both from Alabama, but they met by chance in North Carolina-at a bowling alley, of all places. Each was there for a fun night out with friends. They ended up in neighboring lanes, trading smiles and playful trash talk between frames. The moment their eyes met, it felt like everything else quieted. Love at first sight isn't common, but for Riley and Jenna, it was real. They talked all night about hometowns, favorite songs, and what they wanted from life. By the end of the night, they'd exchange numbers and a promise to stay in touch. Only weeks later, Riley moved to Alaska for the military. It could have ended there, but they were determined to make it work. The distance wasn't easy but the connection was worth it. After many long flights, late night facetimes, and several phone calls, Riley asked Jenna if she would move to Alaska to live with him. Jenna didn't hesitate, she packed her bags and met the love of her life under the northern stars. One year later and they are both back in sweet home Alabama and ready to say "I do". They still laugh about how it all started with a lucky strike in North Carolina and led to a love strong enough to span miles, seasons, and even the wilds of Alaska.
