Our Wedding

Jeff &amp; Jordan met on Hinge! Their first date was on an October Friday night where Jeff invited her to Puttshack for some friendly competition in mini golf. When he asked if he could pick her up, Jordan jokingly said he could—as long as he hadn’t murdered anyone lately (a great start, clearly!) That night, to Jeff’s dismay, Jordan won bragging rights with the highest golf score, and what started as a fun date quickly turned into something much more. Not long after, their dogs—Chloe and Dodge—became best buds, which was only fitting since anyone who knows Jordan and Jeff knows how much they absolutely love their pups.Just a few dates later, Jeff made it official and asked Jordan to be his girlfriend. Whether it was traveling the country or spending quiet time at home with the dogs, they always had fun together. Two years later, Jeff planned a special trip to Starved Rock State Park for the two of them and their dogs. After a morning of hiking, they had a picnic to cool down and relax along the Illinois River. Jeff surprised Jordan by proposing, with their two favorite companions, Chloe &amp; Dodge, to witness it all and celebrate the moment, too. Jeff &amp; Jordan are SO excited to begin this next chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate with the people they love most!

Fun fact: Sara and Jordan have the nicknames of Knackwack and Pattywack for each other!

Fun fact: Jenna loves animals and is the best dog auntie to Dodge & Chloe!

Cassidy is one of the first people who Jeff introduced Jordan to when they first started dating!
