2020 - the year of COVID and chaos. How's that saying go - after the chaos comes the calm? The pandemic seemed like an unlikely place for meeting your soulmate, but that's where our love story begins. Who knew a simple swipe right could lead to finding your best friend? On Tuesday, November 10th, Jess messaged Brad on Bumble, and by that Friday November 13th, we were on our first date at Blondies and it was love at hello! We stayed until closing, and already made plans for the next Friday to go to TopGolf; Brad knew Jess was a golfer and Jess wanted to take him to the cleaners with her swing. It took 50 days of dates and conversation for us to finally make things official on Sunday, January 3rd, 2021 and become a couple. From golf dates to concerts to vacations, spending time with family & friends, adopting our cats ("The Girls") Winter and Aspen, we have built a beautiful life together! Fast forward to Sunday, September 15th, 2024. Jess thought they were spending a day at Blake's Orchard with friends picking apples, drinking hard cider, and taking some cute photos for Christmas cards. She had no idea that she would turn around from picking Empire apples to find Brad on one knee holding the most stunning ring. He asked "what about picking this one?" and she couldn't get the words YES out fast enough! What started as a mission to pick apples for applesauce turned into appley-ever after ❤️🍎 Now, we've found our dream venue and rallied our favorite people together to stand beside us as we become Mr. and Mrs! We look forward to celebrating tying the knot with you!
