Our Wedding

October 2, 2015: Derek and Jen start dating!

We grew up going to the same small school in the same grade. We occasionally shared teachers in grade school, but were not really close friends. This all changed in our 9th grade school year. It was not far into the school year when Derek asked Jen to be his girlfriend on a Friday night after the football dance. Our story continued through high school and then on through college despite attending different schools. With Derek’s final days as a college student approaching, he decided it was time to propose! While home for the weekend, we were outdoors enjoying a nice spring day when Derek got down on one knee and Jen said yes!

April 6, 2024: Derek and Jen are engaged!

It will be our 9 year and 10 month anniversary on our wedding date!
