Our story first began in 2010, when we were just kids starting middle school. We briefly crossed paths during the “Oovoo days,” and Michelle may have even sent Jarred a few friendly hello messages but at the time, it simply wasn’t meant to be. Ten years later, in 2020, life brought us back to each other. During COVID, we reconnected and from our very first conversation, something felt different. What started as late-night FaceTime calls in March quickly turned into something we both knew was special. By May, when restrictions began to lift, we were finally able to spend time together in person and from that moment on, we were inseparable. We spent nearly every day side by side, falling more in love with each passing moment. We exchanged our first “I love you” at Lake Harmony, a place that will forever hold such a meaningful piece of our hearts. Soon after, we moved to Bristol with our fur babies, Jax and Mo, officially beginning our life together. For almost four wonderful years, we built a home filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. In the summer of 2025, we reached two unforgettable milestones we purchased our first home together, and Jarred proposed at Lake Harmony, the very place where we first said “I love you.” It was a beautiful full-circle moment and the perfect start to our forever. Traveling and exploring new places has always been such an important part of our relationship, which makes it even more meaningful that we’ll begin this next chapter by saying “I do” in Punta Cana, surrounded by the people we love most. The best is yet to come. 🤍
