Our Wedding

In May of 2022, Jali and Isaac went on their first date to Bait Restaurant (RIP!) in St. Louis. Dominique (Maid of Honor) and Dana (Bridesmaid) helped Jali find the perfect dress and hyped her up for the very special occasion. Despite Jali’s typically reserved personality, she talked throughout the entire meal with Isaac only getting very few words in. Isaac didn’t mind at all and in fact, invited Jali to continue the night and engage in some friendly competition at Up-Down in the Central West End. Both Jali and Isaac quickly realized they had a connection and went on a second date two days later!

Our First Date

After celebrating Jali’s grandma’s 80th birthday, Isaac decided to keep the party going in the most unforgettable way. He cleverly told Jali he had to leave the birthday early, all while setting up to pop the big question. With the help of some of our dearest friends and family, he quickly prepared a surprise in Tower Grove Park.Curious and a little impatient, Jali was sent to the park to help Rola (Maid of Honor), with a “broken down car.” When she arrived, she was met with the surprise of a lifetime: Isaac, holding a dozen roses and a ring box, waiting just for her. Even better, our closest family and friends were there to witness Jali say “Yes!”
