Our Story

First comes school, then comes marriage

It all started in Ford Hall at the University of Minnesota when Demetrius and Jessica were each taking a class about their study abroad. Demetrius had just made his way home from Argentina and Jessica was about to leave for New Zealand. Demetrius made the first move by asking Jessica to join him for a group project. The rest was history. Their journey took them to different apartments, jobs, and careers. In January, 2021, Jessica and Demetrius relocated to Montana from Colorado where Jessica took a post-secondary teaching position. Demetrius is still working as a co-founder of a biotech start-up. They love Montana and miss Colorado very much. In their free time, they love traveling and spending time with their fur-child Apollo. Jessica and Demetrius have the beautiful opportunity to call Minnesota, Colorado and Montana their home. They have decided to marry in the Last Best Place where they now live and where Jessica spent her youth exploring the outdoors and taking in the beauty of Big Sky Country. Whitefish, Montana has a special place in Jessica's heart as she spent her middle school years living and attending school in Whitefish. It was where she met lifelong friends and discovered her love for skiing. Whitefish sits between Demetrius' two favorite places in Montana (Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park). Demetrius and Jessica hope that their wedding party and guests will love Montana as much as they do and spend days prior to the wedding exploring some of their favorite Montana spots with them.
