Our Wedding

Our Story

February 2015Jack was a junior and Nat was a sophomore at Westminster Christian Academy. Although they knew of each other, neither one really knew the other all that well. But one random indoor soccer game introduced them to each other, and they immediately became close friends. Now, at this point in the story, Jack and Nat slightly disagree on the status of their relationship, so if you're wanting to know more, just ask them. Both are always eager to prove their side of the story is the correct one. During this in between period, Jack asked Nat to be his date to JSB (Junior-Senior Banquet; also known as Prom at most schools).

July 2015	Fast forward to the 4th of July, Nat finally realized her feelings for Jack. From there, they started dating and haven't looked back since! During Jack's senior year, they were able to go to CB (Christmas Banquet) and JSB together one more time.

August 2016	As graduation approached, Jack decided to attend Samford University in Birmingham, AL which forced them to deal with long distance. Nat's senior year came and went, then she decided to go to Auburn University. Now Nat and Jack were only 2 hours apart as opposed to 8. College brought so many fun memories in both Birmingham and Auburn. Jack and Nat went to countless functions together, every time feeling grateful for the ability to see each other by just a short 2 hour drive.

December 2020Jack graduated from Samford in May 2020, leaving them only one more semester of long distance as Nat was set to graduate that December. Although they were down to only 5 more months, this time the distance between them was 10 hours. As hard as this was, Jack surprised Nat on her graduation weekend to ask her to marry him, so it was alllllllll worth it. ☺
