Visiting the Red, White, and Blue thrift store. Jordan found a dress that matches Alaynee and her mom’s red and white polka dot dresses.

Brides First Thoughts

Whoa he’s tall! He has a man purse? (His diabetes bag). What a cute blondie. When I first saw him he was playing with my two year old cousin. They were so cute playing together. He is so good with kids. His silly voices are so cute!

Grooms First Thoughts

She is cute, sweet, kind. She has a beautiful smile that can make you smile! She is fun and happy! I didn’t see her at first because she blended in with her younger cousins. She is shy but super fun to be around.

When Was Your First Kiss

A beautiful starry summer night in the woods on the porch….in front of the ring doorbell camera.

Who initiated the Very First Conversation

Alaynee with the “help”(insistence) of her mom!

When did you first say I love you?

July 31st on a FaceTime phone call! Jordan said it first and he didn’t realize he was saying it until after the fact! He doesn’t regret saying it.

Name a custom or tradition that you’d like to continue doing after you get married.

Bride: Every year for the 14 days leading up to Valentine’s my mom and dad cut out paper hearts and write down individual special love notes to us kids. They might also be advice, compliments, and scriptures. They put them on our bedroom door each night and it’s fun to see what they wrote each morning. Groom: Daily scripture study and prayer.
