Jordan and I grew up in the same neighborhood, with families who shared friends and crossed paths over the years.. yet somehow, we never actually met. Timing clearly had other plans. In the summer of 2015, I was riding with a friend and pulled into our neighborhood BP gas station. As we parked, my friend almost hit Jordan with my car. I jumped out immediately to make sure he was okay, and that unexpected moment became the beginning of everything. What started as a near miss quickly turned into a connection we couldn’t ignore. Since that day, we’ve been together, building a life, growing our family, and creating a love story that feels like it was always meant to find its way back home.

We have been together since September 6, 2015. Over the years, we’ve faced life’s challenges side by side, and every obstacle has only strengthened our bond. Together, we’ve built a family that is our greatest joy. Briella, Kaidyn, and Haisley fill our lives with love, laughter, and meaning every single day. Jordan proposed on May 21, 2021, and now we are so excited to get married, for Ashley to take our last name, and to continue building our life together. Our journey has been full of growth, resilience, and unwavering love, and we cannot wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of our friends and family.

We are so excited to get married at Kennedy Hill Barn in Byron, Illinois on August 30, 2026. As the summer fades into fall, we can’t wait to celebrate this special moment surrounded by the people who mean the most to us. Our hope is to soak in every single moment of the day, from the laughter and love to the little details that make this day uniquely ours. Our ceremony will be unplugged, and we kindly ask that guests put away phones and cameras so we can fully enjoy these moments and our photographer can capture the love and memories without distractions. Sharing this chapter of our lives with our family and friends will make it truly unforgettable.
