Our Wedding

Jodi and Jared first met at a St. Mels 7th grade&nbsp; dance.&nbsp;&nbsp;Years later in&nbsp;High School they went to a sophomore dance together.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here's&nbsp;&nbsp;picture of them at the dance.









Jared and Jodi remained friends and would&nbsp;see each other&nbsp;every&nbsp;now and then. Jared and Jodi's mutual friend&nbsp;Jeff&nbsp; (who is one of the best men)&nbsp;told&nbsp;Jared that Jodi used to have a crush on him, Jared&nbsp;then&nbsp;saw his opportunity but after&nbsp;failed attempts of flirting and lack of&nbsp;responses to text&nbsp;messages he&nbsp;almost gave up.&nbsp; Jared decided&nbsp;to&nbsp;give Jodi&nbsp;one more chance so he&nbsp;texted her one last time and she&nbsp;finally responded!!! soon after&nbsp;Jared and Jodi went on their first date.&nbsp;













After a couple dates Jared got the courage to give Jodi a kiss,&nbsp;she giggled and then&nbsp;punched&nbsp;him in the arm.













Fast forward to Jared proposing to Jodi.&nbsp; After two years of dating&nbsp;Jared popped the question on&nbsp;April&nbsp;5th, 2018 as&nbsp;Jodi proceeded to tell him to Shut up, then said "Yes".&nbsp;









And here we are today.
