Our journey began long before we even realized it. We were just kids navigating the halls of Sierra Middle School, unaware of the significant role fate had in store for us. It was through a sibling connection and PTA that our paths first intersected. Little did we know, this chance encounter would sow the seeds of a deep and lasting connection. As we ventured into the realm of young adulthood and parted ways for college, life took us on separate paths. Yet, the bond we had formed in our early years remained steadfast. Distance couldn't dull the spark that had ignited so many years ago. Post our college adventures, our paths converged once again, and this time, the timing felt right. Our connection was undeniable, as if the universe had been gently nudging us together all along. It was as if we were always meant to find our way back to each other, guided by an invisible hand that knew our hearts better than we did. From that moment on, our love story unfolded with a sense of inevitability. We grew together, cherishing each and every milestone of our lives. And now, as we stand on the threshold of forever, we're reminded of the simple yet profound truth: some connections are written in the stars, destined to withstand the test of time. Join us as we celebrate the culmination of our journey, surrounded by the love and support of those who have witnessed our story unfold. Together, we'll embark on the next chapter of our lives, bound by a love that began in the innocence of youth and blossomed into something truly extraordinary. With love, Jared and Lauren
