Jared and Jess first met years ago while out bowling with friends, but it wasn't until much later that things finally fell into place. All thanks to the matchmakers and our best friends, Zach and Savannah, in August 2023, Jared texted Jess and we all hung-out at Young's for a friendly game of putt-putt and ice cream. Just a few weeks later, Jared and Jess went on their "official first date" to Mother Stewart's Brewery, and quickly after they became inseparable. After months of creating so many special memories, from brewery dates, sporting games and concerts, roadtrips and more, they quickly realized they wanted to spend the rest of their lives making more memories together. In December of 2024, Jared and Jess went to Hocking Hills, and Jared decided to propose to Jess in front of Cedar Falls. Jared and Jess are so excited to celebrate their marriage with all of their family and friends!
