Our Wedding

Our Beginning 

Garrett and Jacey first started talking a little over two Christmases ago, in December 2023. Early on, Garrett invited Jacey over to meet him, but she didn’t take him up on the offer—she didn’t really know him yet! Neither of them expected their conversations to last very long, but day by day, they kept talking. As time went on, those conversations grew into something meaningful. They started learning more about each other, and the more they talked, the more everything just felt right.

First Meetings

Since Garrett was in the military, most of their connection was through texts and calls. Before leaving on deployment, he asked Jacey if she’d like to write letters—and she loved the idea. Garrett was certain he wouldn’t hear from her again while he was gone, so he was surprised when a four-page letter showed up, written front and back! It was the first of many she sent, even though he only wrote back once (lol). For Jacey, writing to him was a joy and a way to stay close across the distance. That Christmas, Garrett returned home, and from then on, the two were nearly inseparable. One of their favorite early memories was driving to Dairy Queen in the Jeep with the top off on a freezing night—Jacey stayed cozy thanks to the hat and scarf Dirk and Becky had given her.

Growing Together

Eventually, Garrett had to leave again, and they didn’t see each other until April 2025. During that time, Garrett was being a little sneaky—only texting Jacey—which made her wonder if he might be coming home sooner than expected. Her suspicions were true as he surprised her! When they reunited, they spent nearly every day together until he had to leave again, but only for a short week this time.  Once Garrett returned for good, Jacey began looking into moving to Holdrege. Before long, she made the move, and their story continued to grow in new and exciting ways.

Proposal

On Saturday, August 30, 2025, Garrett proposed. It had been rainy all day, and he wasn’t sure if it was the right time. That evening, they decided to go “watch the sunset” and drove north to one of Garrett’s favorite fields. The sky was breathtaking—painted in deep, stormy shades of gray and blue. From the top of the hill, they could see rolling green hills dotted with black cows. They lay in the truck bed, watching the clouds drift by, when suddenly a perfect circle of clear sky opened above them. On that day, Garrett made their future official.

Our Future 

We are so excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife. We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding surrounded by family and friends, and are grateful for all the moments—big and small—that have brought us here. Looking ahead, we’re most excited to build a home and a family together. From the everyday routines to the big milestones, we look forward to creating a life filled with love, laughter, and faith.
