Our story begins long before we ever realized it — from the days when Jesse played on my dad’s softball team, to years of crossing paths at group events. We were always part of the same world, but it wasn't until one random summer night that everything changed. Jesse texted me out of the blue, asking if I was "any good at golf." Little did I know, he had a plan — he wanted to invite me to a couples golf night. (I obviously said no, I am terrible at golf since I had only swung a golf club a few times.) But that one message led to endless conversations, and before we knew it, we were spending time together and officially started dating in December 2021.

For a while, we made long distance work, building a strong foundation based on trust, laughter, and countless weekend visits. In January 2024, we finally closed the distance when I moved in with Jesse in Bismarck. Now, along with our dog Jax, we’ve built a home filled with love, laughter, and the simple, everyday moments that mean the most.

We are so excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you who have supported us along the way. The best is yet to come!
