Our story is simple and sweet!

We met through a mutual friend who invited Ellie to Memphis Christian Church and introduced us to each other. Interestingly enough, Jayke just happened to be preaching that weekend! At the same time, Ellie called Jayke three times in one day when she was completing reference calls for her workplace.

We began to hang out at either YA group or in church settings and began to get to know each other. Then Jayke asked Ellie on a coffee date, some say this is our first date, so we will just go with that! :)

As we got to know each others' families and friends, we could tell we would fit in well with each others lives.

As we navigated the challenges of a busy summer and the start of the next school year, we figured out how to work together and love each other well. We continued dating and deepening our relationship with Jesus being at the center of our story.

We knew we would be each others forever as we went through the highs and lows of life with grace, understanding, and love.

Jayke proposed to Ellie on November 21, 2024 on the first snowfall of the winter at Country Lake Christian Retreat. We are grateful for all that God has entrusted to us in this season. We give all the glory to God for bringing us together and can not wait to see how He uses our marriage for His Kingdom!
