Our Wedding

We met through classes for our athletic training major at Clarke University where we started to study together. After several attempts of asking Jayeden out, Clay finally did after Lisbon's 2019 homecoming game at Cornell College. After dating for over 3 years, Clay lead Jayeden on a scavenger hunt around his house and ending up back on Cornell College's campus where he asked her to be his wife. Obviously she said yes. With the goal of getting married in 2025 (so Clay could finish school and get a job) we began planning a wedding. Only to decide to bump it up a year in March of 2024, leaving us less than seven months to plan a wedding, while having over a 19 month engagement.... oops.&nbsp;We are both passionate about playing pool, going on adventures with each other, and our three cats Arya, Ayla, and Dion. &nbsp;
