“From the very beginning, we knew we were meant to be together.”

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU MEET?
Jackson and I met in high school in 2017 when he moved to my hometown.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST DATE!
Though we started dating in high school, we never had an official first date. We began hanging out in May 2018 and officially started dating in September 2018.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO TOGETHER?
Jackson and I enjoy fishing, playing cornhole, pool, pickleball, and spending time with our dog, Cora.

WHEN DID YOU KNOW HE/SHE WAS THE ONE?
From the very beginning, we knew we were meant to be together. Every day feels like a new adventure, and we look forward to spending forever with each other!

HOW DID HE PROPOSE?
Jackson took me to breakfast at our favorite spot. When we returned home, our dog, Cora, was on the front porch wearing a bandana that read, “Will you marry my Dad?” Jackson got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!

WHEN YOU THINK OF YOUR WEDDING DAY, WHAT DO YOU ENVISION? WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU?
As I imagine our wedding day, I see the faces of our closest friends and family gathered around us. Each person is a significant part of our lives. Their presence will not only celebrate our marriage but also remind us of the deep connections that have shaped who we are today.

WHY THE WILLOW?
We absolutely loved The Willow for its beauty. The location was perfect, and we were thrilled with the bridal suite, the ballroom area, the patio, and the breathtaking view. We can easily picture ourselves holding both our ceremony and reception there!

Wedding Date: July 18, 2026
