Our Wedding

We met freshman year through nursing school at Quincy University. We became good friends at first and overtime grew close together. After establishing our relationship senior year of college, we graduated and move to St. Louis to start our life as nurses. Over the years, we have travelled all over the country making memories. We are so excited to celebrate our special day surrounded by all of our loved ones!

Our Story 

In the spring of 2024, we took a quiet getaway to Bar Harbor, Maine. One of our shared loves is hiking. Our bucket list is to visit every national park in the United States (four down, many more to go). Acadia National Park is one we will never forget. We spent the week hiking up the mountains and around the beach. We ate lots of excellent seafood! On March 18th, we hiked seven miles up Cadillac Mountain. The view was breathtaking. Since it was the off-season, we were the only two people at the top. Jack got down on one knee as I took a photo of the view. When I turned around, there he was. It was the best day of our lives (so far). We look forward to many more hikes as Mr. and Mrs. Waddell. :)
