Our Wedding

Jenny and Evan met on the popular dating app Hinge. Jenny made the first move, and they quickly found common interests with their shared love of animals, music, and nature. After texting for a while, Evan asked Jenny to go get dinner at a restaurant in Midtown Nashville called Jasper's. The pair were quick to recognize the spark between them existed beyond texting. Evan brought Jenny pink tulips (Jenny's favorite color), which got him brownie points with not only Jenny, but her family as well. Jenny didn't bring flowers for Evan, but entertained him with impressions of famous celebrities (a hidden talent!). Jenny and Evan knew this was the start of something very special. Soon after, they were officially in a relationship. The pair spent lots of time together and shared many experiences including concerts as a couple, camping together (Jenny's first time ever!), and Evan also helped Jenny move into her new apartment in Nashville. The two knew they both loved to travel and went on their first big trip to Utah together where they went to 6 national parks in 8 days! Since that trip, they've increased their total to 13 together including one in Canada. Jenny and Evan also have grown to thoroughly enjoy going to concerts together and have been to more than 20 shows in several states with each other since meeting. When Evan knew he was ready to pop the question, he knew he had to do it in a National Park. In December of 2023, Evan planned the perfect trip to California (shoutout Daniel &amp; Garrett!) so he could propose in the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park on top of a mountain. Since the proposal, Evan and Jenny have continued to travel, spend time with family, go to concerts, and simply enjoy life together. The two cannot wait for wedding day and to share it with you. We are counting down the days until forever!

How the Love Story Began...

Our Story

Photos

Jenny's built-in best friend and older sister. These two have always been very close and will continue to be!

Laura Bell-Seibers

Jenny and LB met in college and lived together for almost 4 years. They were known to others to be a package deal and always seemed to do everything together. They have been best friends for 8+ years. 

Laura Beth Hellerstedt

Jenny's sister-in-law who has easily become a close friend as well as a member of the Bell family. They enjoy being goofy and making up random songs to sing at family functions. 

Ashlie Bell-Seibers

If you've met Evan, then there's a good chance you've met Max. They go together like Snoopy and Woodstock and were stuck together like glue until Evan moved away to Tennessee to find Jenny. 

Max Runningen

Gavin's mom once told Evan that people who are friends longer than 10 years are likely to be friends for life. These two are pushing 20 years now and show no sign of slowing down. 

Gavin Miller

The meeting of these two involved Evan telling Thomas that he did not have to sit through the Cross Country nationals that was on the tv if he did not want to. Little did he know, Thomas was also a weird person that enjoyed watching amateur running and the two were destined to get along from then on. 

Thomas Hembree

Elijah was the first new person Evan met at Purdue and the two have been buds since. Evan and Elijah grew to love each other's quirks over the years and have built a strong friendship. 

Elijah Wagner

He’s got the best smile around! Pat and Evan have been friends since Run Club at Purdue and have grown very close since those days and post-graduation. Pat and Evan love traveling across the country to meet up for adventures in new places and we can’t wait to have him as part of our special day.

Q + A

Hotel Recommendations 

We are looking to book more hotel blocks at this time. In the meantime, if you would like to book a hotel early, Jenny and I recommend something nice in the Lebanon or Mt. Juliet area. These communities are nearby and provide many options from all of the standard hotel brands.

This is one option for you to stay where we have a limited number of rooms blocked off with a set price. It is conveniently located about 10-15 minutes from the wedding venue. Please follow this link to book your room for any time during the wedding weekend -

Hampton Inn & Suites Lebanon

Other Options!

If you're looking for a bit more of a vacation while visiting, there are tons of fancy hotels or Airbnb options in and around downtown Nashville! Jenny and I are partial to places in East Nashville with it being close to things to do and away from some of the crowds of Broadway. No matter what you decide, we hope you have a great stay and can't wait to see you!

Travel

Whether you're coming from a completely different state or just diving 30 minutes to the wedding, here is a list of some of our favorite things to do around Nashville!

Visit a Local State Park

Close to the wedding venue lie both Cedars of Lebanon State Park and Long Hunter State Park. Each offer quality hiking trails and a peaceful escape from the hustle of Nashville and all that comes along with attending a wedding.

Grab Coffee

Grab a coffee at one of the many great coffee shops across Nashville. If you want to check out Jenny &amp; Evan's favorite, stop by All People Beverage Hall. We recommend the Irish Latte or one of their seasonal drinks.

Enjoy Nashville's Famous Hot Chicken

The original is Prince's which you can get on the South side of town or in the Assembly Food Hall on 5th and Broadway. Hattie B's is Jenny &amp; Evan's favorite and it has several locations across town.

Explore Centennial Park & The Parthenon

If visiting Nashville, a trip to the Parthenon is a must! Jenny and Evan spent much of their time at Centennial Park when Jenny lived within walking distance. If you go, make sure to bring some oats to feed the ducks!

enjoy some live music

This is quite easy to do in Music City! If you're in town for more than our wedding night, you can look into going to a concert because chances are there will be something to suit your taste. If you want to just experience something a bit less structured, you can venture out on Broadway. If that is a bit too chaotic for you (as it is for us), we'd recommend Jane's Hideaway which has great live music every night at 8 pm and is in Jenny &amp; Evan's neighborhood.
