Aaron and Jillian met in August of their freshman year of high school when Jillian’s family moved into the house across the street from Aaron. They were just two teenagers living their own lives, and it wasn’t until their senior year that they truly started to connect. What started as a deep friendship soon blossomed into something more. At 17 and 18 years old, they weren’t sure of much, but they were certain about each other. And so, they began this incredible journey together, learning, growing, and supporting each other through life. Over the years, their bond has only deepened into something truly beautiful. Aaron is the most gentle, genuine person Jillian has ever known—his kindness, humor, and calm spirit make every day brighter. And Jillian, with her unwavering love and energy, brings out the best in him. They are truly two peas in a pod, and they couldn’t imagine life without each other. Their love story took an unforgettable turn in St. Augustine, Florida, Jillian’s favorite place on earth, where she and her family vacation every year. On a quiet evening, surrounded by the sea oats and the sand, Aaron asked Jillian to be his wife. It was the perfect moment, in the place that has always held such special meaning for her. Now, as they prepare for their wedding, they are beyond excited to celebrate in New Orleans, a city that means so much to Aaron. From its rich history to its vibrant culture, New Orleans has always been close to his heart. Aaron and Jillian can’t wait to say “I do” in this special place, surrounded by the people they love, as they begin this next chapter of their journey together.
