We met like young folks do now - via the internet. Joe was living in Inver Grove Heights at the time and Jenna had just flown into MSP after a weekend with friends in Austin, Texas when they happened to "match" while she was waiting for her ride at the airport. Joe's opening line? "Dogs (check), hiking (check) and Bloody Mary's (check)" as all of which were listed as "things you must love" on Jenna's page.

Immediately on our first date at a small bar in Hammond, WI we hit it off figuring out we have lots in common including love for our family, friends, animals, the outdoors and cocktails. Since that night, we've grown to being each other's best friends and biggest cheerleaders in life. We've made so many memories traveling, camping, attending countless weddings together and blended our little fur family (hi Maple and Wilson) by purchasing a home in Rochester, MN after Jenna matched at Mayo Clinic.

The best part about our time together has been getting to know each other's friends and family who mean the world to us. We cannot wait to celebrate joining our lives together with all of the people we love the most.

See you all soon! Love, Jenna & Joe
