We're getting married!

Two completely different kids in school—the troublemaker and the goody-goody—are now getting married. Never in our wildest teenage dreams did we imagine ending up together. But after high school, fate had other plans. We reconnected by chance, and one unexpected kiss changed everything. No joke—we pulled away, looked at each other, and said, “Wow.” From that moment on, we were inseparable, quickly realizing just how perfectly we fit together. To the shock of all our friends (really—no one saw it coming), we built something real. We became best friends, spending nearly every moment together as if there was no Payten without Jackson, and no Jackson without Payten. From navigating new jobs, moving into our first apartment, buying a house, continuing our education, and welcoming another furry friend into our lives, we’ve supported each other every step of the way. And with the help of our sweet dog Douglas, Jackson asked Payten the easiest question ever: to spend forever together. Obviously, she said yes.
