Jamin and Margo met on an online dating app called Hinge, "The app made to be deleted". They matched in the very late days of June and began talking just before July 4th 2023.

Jamin had asked Margo if she would be willing to go on a date with him to a drive in movie theatre at the Shankweiler theater. She agreed and proceeded to drive an hour and 15 minutes to go meet this guy she has never met before. So, on July 28, 2023, they went on their first date to go watch the new Barbie movie followed by Legally Blonde (super romantic, I know). Right from that night, there was a connection.

Two dates later on August 11, 2023, while sitting out under the stars on a dock by a lake hoping to see some shooting stars, Jamin asked Margo if she would like to be in a exclusive committed relationship with him.

Spoiler: She said yes!

After a few months of growing closer together and getting to know each other's views and beliefs on varying topics as well as getting to know each other's families, they began talking about marriage and what that would look like. Lots of coffee dates took place where they shared their views and thoughts on the importance of having Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, at the center of marriage and parenting styles, past traumas and more.

On February 20th, 2024, approximately two days before Jamin got word that he would be let go from his former employer, he purchased the engagement ring that Margo now wears. Of course this was a big purchase and followed Jamin's prayers for God to lead him into the future that God has planned for them and not just planning for where they desire to go. Jamin prayed and asked God to open and close doors in his life so that God will open the doors to where they should go and live/work. God answered these prayers, quite quickly, and began to shift where Jamin would be working. But, as always, God was faithful and provided Jamin employment within two weeks of being unemployed. God is Good!

Jamin asked Margo's Father, Mack, if they could get together and talk about an important topic and planned to talk for about an hour on March 5, 2024. That "hour"-long conversation ended up going on for two hours talking about the importance of sacrifice, communication and love within a marriage amidst many more topics.

With the help of his sister, Jamin began planning the proposal to his soon to be wife. On March 10th, 2024, after church and lunch with the Berkowich family, Jamin asked Margo if she would be willing to go on a hike with him so they could talk about life and what the future holds. Little did Margo know, that Jamin's sister and her husband, Emma and Matthew, had been setting up the proposal spot all morning. So, they start driving to the hiking spot where Jamin is getting quite excitedly nervous, hoping to keep the proposal a surprise. They began the hike talking about what the future is going to look like and about 100 yards away from a hill, Jamin changed the conversation to begin sharing how thankful he was for meeting Margo, explaining how he has peace and truly feels loved when he is around her. As they got closer to this hill and begin walking up the hill, Jamin started to tell Margo how much he loves her and why he loves her.

Then, after clearing the hill, there were rose pedals lining the path for about 40 yards until, above a running creek, there was a blanket with candles and flowers, in view. At this point, Margo could hear Jamin's brother-in-law, Matthew, in the woods taking pictures, capturing this beautiful moment. As Jamin continued to share his love for Margo, they eventually reached the blanket with flowers and candles. Here, Jamin got down on a knee and asked Margo to marry him.

Following this incredible and exciting moment, they went back to the Berkowich house where both families met them and communed over a late lunch, sharing stories and celebrating together.

Jamin & Margo are currently going through pre-marital counseling as they hope to honor and glorify the Lord through this marriage. They desire for you to enjoy the wedding and be reminded that Love is sacrifice as Christ has demonstrated. To love someone is to sacrifice for them. Putting their desires before your own.

Thank you all very much for supporting us in this exciting time of our lives as prepare to embark on this journey of marriage!
