J & W

Will and Jessie attended the same high school but didn’t truly connect until junior year, when their friend groups began spending time together. They hit it off quickly, started dating in July 2019, and soon became inseparable. After graduating high school amid the height of the pandemic, they both chose Missouri State University—because being apart just wasn’t an option. Today, Will works in finance and Jessie is a nurse, having swapped late-night study sessions for the rhythm of real life. In December 2024, Will proposed, and now they can’t wait to celebrate their wedding (and dating anniversary!) surrounded by the people they love most.
