As much as we don't like to say this story, the real reason we are here is that we were swiping away on bumble LOL Neither one of us being on bumble ever thought it would bring us where we are today. As soon as we matched, the conversation started, and we came to realize we had so many things in common.

The more we talked, we realized we both loved Country music, going to concerts,

football games, and a nice ice cold Bud Light! Meeting online is a little scary

at times, but we soon came to realize one of Jon's best friends, Vinny,

actually grew up with Gena and made meeting each other that much more

comfortable and easy.

We finally decided we would meet up one night at round-up, and we both brought our

Posse (Vinny, Megan, and Taylor) because who knows how this was all going to

play out.

Things that night went great; we started talking more, hanging out, going to different

concerts, going to football games, and going to Jons Lake House in Lake Placid

(Which was another thing we had in common!)

A few months later, sitting outside by the fire at Jon's Lake House, Jon decided he

wanted to make things official and asked Gena to be his girlfriend; with a

quick "Gena" response, she said, "I'm down, if your down"

Till this day, we still die laughing about this!

Come 2020, we had big plans for all the concerts and traveling we would do together,

but COVID had other plans for the world. In reality, this was probably one of

the best things that happened for us. We had plenty of Lake Weekends, fishing

in the everglades, and home-cooked meals together. We finally decided to move

in together and take it to the next step, things went amazing, and that's when

Jon decided he was going to propose!

9/5/2020 at Hawks Cay resort is the day our lives changed forever. With the help of

Gena's Best Friend and Maid of Honor, Kristy, Jon came up with the best

proposal, and Gena said, "YES!"

These last few months have been a whirlwind of excitement and planning for the

wedding; we are so excited to see what the future holds for us as Husband and

Wife
