Chloe and Jayden share a mutual friend, Rachel, who had been trying to set them up for quite some time the fall of 2022. Chloe was skeptical at first—past setups hadn’t exactly been successful. Jayden was unsure as well - but open to meeting new people in Missoula. One day, Chloe and Jayden matched on Hinge and after just a few minutes of chatting, realized they both knew Rachel… and that they were the match she had been trying to make all along.
That same night, Chloe and Rachel attended a work party together. Afterward, Rachel planned to head downtown with her friend group—including Jayden—and invited Chloe to tag along so she could meet him in a fun, group setting.
Chloe and Jayden immediately hit it off, diving into deep conversation despite the loud, crowded bar. What truly won Chloe over, though, was the way Jayden danced with her later that night at her favorite bar, The Union Club. What won Jayden over, was Chloe's smile and contagious joy as he danced with her that night. They were dancing to Chloe's favorite local band, The Joan Zen Band, who is now their wedding band!
What started as a natural night out quickly turned into something neither of them expected.
Since that night, Chloe and Jayden have built a life together filled with weekend trips, card games, skiing, dancing, and a lot of laughter.
On Thursday, October 9th, Jayden popped the question as a total surprise to Chloe. Chloe thought they were heading to a photoshoot they had "won" via an Instagram giveaway, but little did she know, it was all setup by Jayden. While taking pictures, Chloe turned around to find Jayden down on one knee, holding the vintage-inspired ring of her dreams. They celebrated with a delicious dinner at Finn, right on the river in Missoula.
Chloe and Jayden are so excited to begin this next chapter of their lives together. They are so grateful to everyone in their lives who helped shape them into who they are today and led them to this moment. Cheers!
