Our Wedding

How We Met

Jesse and I found each other online in December 2018 close to to the New Year and immediately hit it off. We met in person for our first date on January 19, 2019 at The Aquarium Restaurant at Opry Mills. As many of you know, I am never late. I was running late this day and Jesse thought I wasn't going to show up. He knows now that it was only a fluke because I am always early. Our first date was amazing. I knew I had met someone special that night as did he. We spent the whole night at Opry Mills talking and getting to know each other. We shared our first kiss at the end of the evening as snow fell from the sky. It was really magical.We continued to see each other every weekend and every chance we got. I knew very early on that I wanted to marry this man.As everyone knows, I am an AVID Nashville Predators fan. Jesse had never been to a hockey game and I was eager to introduce him to my favorite sport. We started attending games together and I enjoyed teaching him about the Preds. In April, we got to experience a dream of every Predator fan. I won a raffle at Buffalo Wild Wings and we were invited to go on the ice after the last home game of the season and receive a game worn jersey off a player's back. It was literally the coolest experience ever and I was able to spend it with my future husband. I think this was the moment Jesse started to love hockey as much as I do.We can't wait to get married in June and begin our life together.

The Engagement

Jesse's sister came to town to visit and had planned family photos to be taken at their brother's house out in Lafayette, TN. When we got out there I was stunned at how beautiful it was and what a great place it would be for the family photos. I had no idea it would end up being where we got engaged.We were taking many pictures. We were taking the final picture and Jesse was standing behind me. Anyone who knows Jesse, knows he doesn't love taking pictures and he likes to goof off. His mom was trying to take the picture and I saw out of the corner of my eye Jesse was bending over. I yelled at him to get up! I had no idea he was trying to propose!! He listened to me, of course, and stood up. They took the picture and he immediately kneeled back down on his knee and said my name. I turned around and I could not believe what I saw!! I was so excited and overwhelmed. It was a perfect proposal and a perfect day.I found out later that Jesse had gone to my parents' house and asked my dad permission to marry me and I thought that was so special.

Things to Do

The Bride's Side

Jordan Duncan is the Matron of Honor. She is a Nashville native but currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband Dru and her pets Lex, Luna, Sasha, and Hazel. Jordan and Maggie met when they were four years old at Belle Meade United Methodist Preschool and have remained best friends since. They have never attended the same school but because of the persistance between the two, their moms were able to coordinate play dates and sleepovers while they were young. If you know Jordan or Maggie, you know one does not come without the other. There is no one else more suited for this role.

Sydney is one of the bridesmaids! Sydney is a Nashville native and currently lives in Clarksville, TN with her husband Adam, son Wilson, and two dogs Ruger and Barley. Sydney and Maggie met in July of 2014 at a 4th of July party and connected instantly. Sydney and Maggie have gone on a few trips together through the years and always have a great time. They have been apart for the past few years while they lived in North Carolina but Maggie is happy to have her back in the area! 

Sydney Baker

Emme lives in Nashville, TN! She is like the sister I didn't know I needed. We met in 2018 when we both moved into the same neighborhood. Emme can do it all. She's a great party planner and my favorite memory of her includes just that. Emme was hosting a neighborhood meet and greet in the courtyard and she went all out. A huge tent, tons of food, plants, and her living room furniture! All set up outside in the common area. I remember telling my roommate at the time that I could not believe this girl and we were sure to not be friends. The rest is history. Emme is one of the kindest people I know and I am blessed to have her in my wedding party.

Jeorgia Lamb is one of the bridesmaids. Jeorgia is a Nashville native and lives in Nashville, TN. She is the Matron of Honor's sister and has been a part of Maggie's life since she was born. Jordan would not hold Jeorgia until she saw Maggie hold her because she was afraid of breaking her little sister. This is where it all began. They had their differences growing up because Jeorgia is five years younger than Maggie but she has always been like another little sister. Maggie and Jeorgia have just in the past three or four years really become close. They frequently hang out and spend time together having game nights and watching the Nashville Predators games. Maggie is excited to have Jeorgia in her wedding and looks forward to all of the other memories that will be made together.
