We met the very first day of college on August 29, 2017. My roommate brought me to hang out with a friend she had made at college preview and Jared happened to be there with his friend. We noticed that we had the same major and shared few classes together. From there we were inseparable. He would come over to my dorm to walk me to class and I'd help him study. Our first official date was at Shawnee State Park where we bonded over our love of animals and the outdoors which is why it was so important to us to have a wedding in such a woodland setting.
