Bailey- "Jenna and I met last June at a Jake Owen concert in the Harrah’s parking lot where the guys started tailgating and the girls were on a walk with her dog Trigger. We were introduced by my best friend Mitch. After some liquid courage, I walked up to Jenna to give her some grief about her beer of choice, and she dished it right back at me. We were inseparable the rest of the night and talked about everything under the moon. I asked Jenna to go to mass with me the following morning and breakfast afterwards. The next morning Mitch and I went to pick Jenna up at her apartment and we went to mass together and breakfast. Jenna has always been intentional from the get-go, so our first date I was getting all of the hard questions. I must’ve answered all of the tough questions okay. ;) Looking back on this weekend I am extremely blessed to have met the girl of my dreams when neither of us were looking. Everything happens for a reason and that weekend is the definition of that as I bought a concert ticket earlier that week and Jenna decided to go to the Jake Owen concert the previous day."

Jenna- "I first laid eyes on Bailey on a warm June summer day at an outdoor country concert tailgate. I was preoccupied playing with my puppy Trigger and hanging out with my best friend Lindsey and other various girlfriends. I did notice a new face in the mix of my male dental school classmates. He was introduced to me as my classmate Mitch's best friend and financial advisor from South Dakota. I thought right away that he was quiet and very polite. I was slightly confused why a financial advisor was wearing cowboy boots, but that thought quickly passed me by as I began to enjoy the night with my friends. A few drinks and hours later, Bailey approached me and began teasing me for the brand of beer that I was drinking. I quickly held my own which turned into playful banter, and we were inseparable for the rest of the night. We quickly merged our friend groups and our into the night conversation consisted of our hobbies, our families, and our faith. Bailey asked me to go to mass the next morning before leaving that night. After mass and brunch the next day, Bailey left on the four-hour drive to return to Watertown for the work week and just like that, the best summer of our lives began."
