We first met at middle school pole vault practice in Columbia, MO. Eventually we parted ways while attending separate high schools in Columbia. In March of 2017, we reconnected at a track and field meet when Jack was heavily encouraged to ask Morgan out on their first date (this was a four-hour date to Orange Leaf, so Jack really knew what he was getting into). This first date turned into junior prom, then senior prom(s), and many dates since.

We dated throughout college long distance as Morgan attended Missouri S&T and Jack attended the University of Missouri. After their 5 year anniversary they returned to the place they met, the Rock Bridge High School track where Jack proposed to Morgan on the pole vault runway. He curated an incredibly heartfelt speech and planned photos and a surprise dinner with close family and friends afterward.

Since the proposal we've both been immersed in our education. Jack is pursuing his doctorate of Chiropractic (DC) in Chesterfield, MO and Morgan is pursuing her doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) in Kirksville, MO.

We are thrilled to share our love with friends and family at Westwind Hills on 6/22/24.
