Our Wedding

Jaegar and I met at FCA (fellowship of christian athletes) Camp summer of 2024. Both of us were there as leaders—me, freshly graduated from Bethel and heading into teaching, and Jaegar, the soon-to-be sophomore. I noticed his leadership and outgoing personality pretty quick but reminded myself that he was younger and I would not be caught dead having a crush on someone who just finished their freshman year…but what’s the harm in some BTS flirting? Fast forward a few months to October. Camp was long over, but for some reason, he still kept coming to mind. So, I decided to text him. As smooth (or crazy) as I am, I scrolled to find a photo he’d taken on my phone during camp and sent it with a simple, “Hey, look what I just found!” He fell for it, and jumped right into the conversation. This is Jaegar’s favorite part of the story so I will let him tell it: We texted for a while that night, talking about life since camp, and before I knew it, SHE was the one making moves and asking me out for coffee! I will admit that I did not know it was a date until a friend notified me that P had liked me at camp and I should probably look at this as a date. After some thought, I decided to go for it and pick her up. (best decision of her life… and maybe mine) That coffee turned into four hours of talking and laughing like we’d known each other for years. It was easy, comfortable, and the start of something neither of us expected but both of us are so grateful for. The Lord is kind! Just under a year later, Jaegar drove me home from dinner and ice cream with his family after his football game (go royals). I got out of the car and could not move a muscle. We walked together through the path of lights and candles to where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him in the backyard of my college house. Easiest yes ever.
