When Peyton moved from Nashville to Jacksonville in 2016, she met her roommate, Savanna Wood, through an app. Sav worked for the Jaguars and had recently started hanging out with myself and my roommate, Justin Younghans. Both of us also worked for the Jaguars at the time. Shortly after Peyton and Sav moved in together, Hurricane Matthew headed towards Jacksonville. They decided to weather the storm at my apartment where Justin and I were hosting a hurricane party. There was an instant mutual attraction. After a year of tomfoolery, we started dating in the Fall of 2017. I stayed with the Jaguars while Peyton continued to advance her career as a dance teacher. The ensuing 5 years were filled with champagne, music festivals, Jags games, cabin trips, oysters, and potentially one too many nights at Jacksonville’s most ratchet establishments. Although the faces change year to year as people get new jobs and whatnot, we’ve been lucky to consistently have an electric group of friends, and we are excited to celebrate this day with all of you. In November of 2022, I was able to get quite a few people back to Jax to surprise Peyton with after I proposed to her on the beach. She claims she knew it was coming (bullshit). We spent that weekend celebrating like the seasoned partiers we are and have been looking forward to making it official ever since.
