Our Wedding

Our love story began at a Monday night Bible Study in January where Jared asked me to go climbing that Wednesday which led to skiing that Saturday and hanging out every day after I recovered from covid.... He hooked me with "homemade covid soup" and good company! His cooking is top notch &lt;3 We met officially in December 2021 at a movie that mutual friends (Chelsea and Jordan) invited us to and unofficially at the climbing gym sometime that spring. When we met up again at a Bible Study in January we quickly discovered that conversation was easy and our values were the same! I love how attentive he is and thoughtful not only towards me, but also to everyone else in his life. His life is marked by the Lord in so many ways. I appreciated his boldness when he asked if we (my roommate Chelsea and I) liked to ski and then when he asked if he could make me soup when I was recovering from covid after skiing. He put himself out there by asking me on an official date February 8th (which is where we took the picture above). He picked me up at my house, opened my car door and paid for my meal. Chivalry is not dead! He proceeded to call me every day after and take me out on follow up dates accompanied by flowers and thoughtful gifts. He has pursued me in a way that has made me feel seen and heard. He is one of the best listeners I know! Jared asked me to be his wife on June 12, 2022 in a spot that means a lot to both him and I overlooking Yakima. As we were walking down from the proposal he turned to me and said, "How great is it that we now get to go and thank and praise the Lord together?!" I am so thankful that he cares so much for our Savior and asked me to marry him right before church where we were able to celebrate with our close friends and church family. We are excited for this season of engagement and even MORE excited for the years of serving the Lord together ahead. Thank you for embarking on this journey with us!

Our Love Story 

Our Story

Photo Timeline of Our Story

Morgan is my younger sister and confidant. I am thankful for her continued support through the highs and lows, her sarcastic and witty humor that keeps me crying from laughter, her tenderness and listening ear towards tough situations, and her love from a far. Currently Morgan lives in Colorado with her sweet pup Pepper. I look forward to the years of memories and family gatherings with her by my side. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be my Maid of Honor and praise the Lord for our sweet sisterhood. 

Morgan Bigalk

Jess has been my "Sister from another Mister" since we were in high school. She is my longest in years friend and truly my second sister. I lived with her family in high school when my family moved to Washington and our bond has only grown stronger over the years. She currently lives in Michigan with her husband Frank and sweet baby boy Daniel. I am encouraged by her strength, grace and sacrificial love for those around her and look forward to many visits with Jared to my second home in Michigan with her. 

Jessica Schymik

Chels has been one of my best friends and roommates since we met at a young adults church group and I told her we would be good friends... well it was true! Not only are we good friends, but we have been the best of roommates for the past five years. We have too many inside jokes, funny stories, and sweet moments to count! Her determination, sarcasm, and caring personality are things I admire. She has prepared me for marriage in so many ways and been a catalyst for growth in my life. I am so thankful for and truly treasure our friendship. I'm looking forward to many years of memories to come! 

Chelsea Nell

Linds has been one of my closest friends and accountability partner since we were roommates back in 2016. We have been through so much together and always seem to have the most fun! Our time with each other is full of laughter (making funny music videos) and meaningful conversation.  I cannot thank the Lord enough for bringing Lindsay into my life. I hope to be as strong, loving, patient and forgiving of a wife, mother, and friend as she is. She currently lives in Idaho with her husband Dean and two beautiful children Luke and Elise. I look forward to our family meet ups, couple getaways and simply being together! 

Lindsay Hickman

Saydee aka "Sayds" has been a dear friend and twin of sorts since I was in high school and she was in middle school! I love her ability to make everyone feel loved and seen and her voice is angelic! I am thankful the Lord brought her into my life so many years ago and has continued to strengthen and deepen our bond. She currently lives in Michigan with her husband Paul and baby girl Selah. She is wise beyond her years and has been a great source of encouragement to me. I look forward to many visits with Jared to come! 

Saydee Bartlett

Ellen and I have been friends since her and her husband Jesse moved to Yakima and started attending Memorial Bible Church. During quarantine we became close friends through small group and frequent hangouts and coffee dates. Ellen can light up a room with her laugh and has the most infectious, funny personality. Her thoughtfulness and kind heart are things I treasure. I'm so glad the Lord has her, Jesse and their sweet baby Luke in Yakima with us. I look forward to the years of friendship ahead as we raise our families together! 

Ellen Larson

Micah and I met through Memorial Bible Church and quickly became close friends. We have been on many adventures together and I cherish my time with her. She has the gift of hospitality and make everyone she knows feel loved, seen and especially heard. She has taught me a thing or two about being a good listener through her example! Her humility, kindness, and selflessness are an example to all of Christ in her. I am honored to be her friend and am so thankful the Lord brought her and her husband Nathan to Yakima. I look forward to the many game nights, date nights, and girls trips in our future! 

Micah Johnson 

Emma and I met through Jared (her brother) and man am I glad we did! I am so excited to be family and look forward to years of memories in our future. There is never enough laughter, smiles and good times when we are together. She is thoughtful, generous, kind and confident. I am sad that she is moving to Nebraska but look forward to seeing her when she comes back to visit! I couldn't ask for a sweeter sister in law.
