We met in 2021 and went on a semi blind date. We immediately hit it off and talked for 4 hours. We talked about anything and everything from tech to religion- or as Jared puts it “everything people don’t usually talk about on the first date.” We knew from the first date that we would be a bigger part of each others lives.

Amelia's Statement- I started falling in love with Jared after just a few dates and I knew he was special. His kind, patient, and loving nature left no doubt in my mind. Shortly after meeting each other, I met Jared’s family and we all instantly became best friends. His dad became like my dad, his siblings and in laws became some of the best friends I’ve ever had. They welcomed me in and made me feel like family. I can confidently say, Jared and everyone of his family members has changed my life for the better and I am so excited to see you all at our wedding!

Jared's Statement - In our first year together we experienced so many events that can take couples 10 years to experience including the loss of my mother, job loss, job changes, job promotions, Amelia graduating college, moving in together, and many ER visits. Through all of it she was so supportive and encouraging of me. We have been each other's rocks throughout everything. We have helped each other grow. We have made so many friends and memories together and I can’t wait to make more with you at our wedding!
