Our Wedding

So, picture this: Portland, Tennessee, 2014. Small town. Not a whole lot going on besides church potlucks, tractor sightings, and the occasional Sonic run. That’s where Deseray and Jason met—two kind-hearted, down-to-earth people who somehow managed to find each other in a town where everyone already knows everyone. They hit it off pretty quickly. Not in a dramatic “love at first sight” kind of way—more like, “Hey, you’re nice. I like that.” They were both spiritual, caring, and not afraid to get their hands dirty (literally—wait for the chickens). They spent the next few years in Tennessee doing life together: working, growing, and probably arguing over what to watch on Netflix like any normal couple. But life threw some curveballs. Jason was facing a tough chapter, and they both knew something had to change. So they made a bold move—literally. They packed up their life and headed to the Florida Panhandle, not just for the beach vibes, but to start fresh. It was about healing, growth, and putting faith into action.And it worked. Jason found strength, purpose, and a new path. He’s been clean and sober for 7½ years now—a huge milestone that deserves more than just a round of applause (maybe a parade with golf carts and chickens?). He started working with White Ox Home Remodeling, where he’s been building more than just homes—he’s been rebuilding his life, one day at a time. Now, let’s talk about the zoo they live in. Deseray has a huge heart for animals—like, huge. She’s the reason their household includes one dog (Zoey, the queen), four cats (each with their own diva energy), and four chickens (who strut around like they pay rent). Jason may have pretended to resist at first, but let’s be honest: he’s secretly just as smitten. You’ll catch him talking to the chickens like they’re coworkers and sneaking treats to the cats when no one’s looking. Their hobbies? Deep sea fishing (aka “let’s see how long we can sit in a boat without catching anything”), bike rides (sometimes leisurely, sometimes competitive), and relaxing at home (where the real magic happens—like figuring out how to keep the cats off the counters and the chickens out of the flower beds). And then there’s golf. Jason’s passion. His hobby. His personal Everest. He’s not exactly Tiger Woods—unless Tiger Woods regularly loses balls to water hazards and talks to his clubs like they betrayed him. But Jason loves it. Rain or shine, good round or total disaster, he keeps showing up to the course with hope in his heart and tees in his pocket. Deseray supports him, of course—though she’s learned to pack snacks and prepare for a lot of “next time I’ll get it” speeches. Now, let’s be real. Eleven years together isn’t all sunshine and smooth sailing. There were bumps. Maybe even potholes. But Jason and Deseray didn’t give up. They leaned on their faith, trusted God’s plan, and learned that sometimes the best way through a tough season is with prayer, patience, and maybe a good laugh. They’re not perfect. They’re not trying to be. They’re just two sweet, caring people who’ve built a life full of love, fur, feathers, faith—and a whole lot of golf balls lost in the woods. And honestly? They wouldn’t have it any other way. And now, after eleven years of laughter, growth, Deseray and Jason are finally getting married on November 15th, 2025. The venue? A stunning countryside barn scene that feels just like home—only this time, it’s in sunny Florida. It’s rustic, warm, and filled with charm, just like the life they’ve built together. They’re both beyond excited to step into this next chapter hand in hand, officially becoming husband and wife.
