Our Wedding

Photos

We’ve been together for nine years now, since we were just kids. We first got to know each other at the ages of 13 and 14, and what started as just casual conversations grew into something so much more. Our best friends were dating at the time, so naturally, we ended up on a very awkward double date at a haunted house. That night led to countless long phone calls, hanging out at the community center (in secret since we were too young to "date"), and Jordan being forced to make many Musical.ly videos. From our early days to now, we’ve grown up side by side, learning, changing, and figuring out life together. We have had moments of laughter and joy, as well as heartbreak and challenges. And yet, through everything, our love has only grown stronger. After nearly a decade of choosing each other again and again, we finally get to begin our next chapter, and we can’t wait to celebrate the start of forever with all of you.

We’ll make sure to post and send pictures and videos from the big day so you can still be part of the celebration from afar! Can I bring a plus one? Due to limited capacity and our desire to keep the wedding more intimate, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you're unsure whether a family member or partner is included, please check your invitation to see the names listed. You can also go to the RSVP page and type in any name to check. If you type in your own name, you'll see a list of everyone in your household or party who is formally invited. What time should I arrive at the venue? The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM. Please plan to arrive around 4:00 PM to ensure you have plenty of time to find a parking spot and get settled in. Are kids welcome?
