We're getting married!

Our story began with a walk — a quiet stroll through the beautiful gardens at Manito, with Milo trotting by our side. It was our very first date, but from the very beginning, there was a sense of ease and connection that felt like we were coming home. The flowers were in bloom, the sun was shining just right, and we found ourselves wrapped up in conversation, learning about each other one question, one laugh, one shared moment at a time. From that first day, our relationship grew quickly and naturally. Just a few weeks later, we packed our bags for an adventure to Banff — the first of many trips that would become part of our story. Some might call it spontaneous, but for us, it just made sense. Exploring the mountains, discovering new places, and sharing every moment brought us even closer! Over time, we’ve discovered a love built not just on shared interests or laughter, but on a deeper foundation — our faith. We’ve prayed together, grown together, and leaned on God in both joyful and uncertain moments. Whether we’re exploring a new place, navigating life’s challenges, or simply sitting on the couch talking for hours, we’ve always known that our relationship is a gift — one we never want to take for granted. Through every trip, every late-night conversation, every quiet morning coffee — we’ve seen how God works in the everyday. He has knit our lives together in ways we never could have orchestrated ourselves, and we’re continually amazed by the peace, joy, and strength that come from putting Him at the center of our relationship. Then came the proposal — a moment Jared planned with so much care and heart. He brought us back to where it all began, to the place where we first met, and recreated our very first date. It was full of meaning, thoughtfulness, and emotion — a perfect reminder of how far we’ve come and everything that still lies ahead. Now, we’re preparing for our next chapter: marriage. It’s a celebration of everything we’ve shared so far and all the love, growth, and adventure still to come. We’re committed to loving each other with grace, serving one another with humility, and continuing to seek God together through every season ahead. We feel incredibly grateful to have found each other and to be surrounded by such loving friends and family. Thank you for being part of our journey. Your love, support, and prayers mean the world to us. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and give thanks together for all that God has done — and all He has yet to do in our lives. With love and gratitude, Jared and Megan
