Our Wedding

Caroline and Jonathan met in May of 2021 when the younger sister of the groom, Anna Piland, suggested they play doubles tennis together at Arnette Park in Fayetteville. Caroline messaged Jonathan afterwards under the guise of needing help with a school project, and they soon started spending much of their time together. The couple quickly became very close, and their love for each other has surpassed distances including college (Durham, NC to Stedman, NC) and career (Laurel, MD to Fayetteville, NC). Jonathan proposed to Caroline in Acadia National Park in Maine on June 26, 2024, on the three-year anniversary of their first date.
