Our Wedding

There’s a theory of the red thread; an invisible force that connects us to the people we are destined to meet. Jamie and Griffin embody this idea. Although their official meeting didn’t happen until 2020, they had been orbiting each other for years. Griffin was a patron of UU and Wandos where Jamie worked during college. Jamie even remembers seeing his name on receipts (he tipped don't worry).&nbsp; Little did they know that these casual encounters would be the beginning of their forever. Together over the past 5 years,&nbsp;Jamie and Griffin navigated a global pandemic, tackled the challenges of grad school, traveled many places and built a warm, joyful home with their two energetic dogs, Goose and Pika. Their resilience and love only deepened as they dreamed of a future filled with adventure and family.&nbsp; Now, with a new home in Elk River, they’re ready to celebrate their next big chapter surrounded by the people they love most. On September 27, 2025, Jamie and Griffin will officially “tie the knot,” bringing together two ends of a single red thread. Their wedding day will honor the journey that led them to this moment and a bond that was destined to be.
