Our Wedding

Joel and Jenny met at a game night, September 2023. Joel doesn't remember this meeting, and Jenny went on to confuse Joel with another person. They went to the same bible study group, fellowship events, and even a Christmas party, all without interacting. In fact, they lived in the same apartment complex for over a year before interacting. July of 2024, Jenny and her roommate Madeline, were out for a walk around the apartment complex and Joel happened to get home from work. Recognizing him from a distance, they proceeded to interrogate him. Many minutes later Joel and his roommates were cordially invited to a game night soon to be held by Jenny and Madeline. He accepted. The game night was a smashing success, Jenny saw Joel's goofy sense of humor, and Joel thought Jenny was fun to be around. Suddenly they began noticing each other everywhere, Hyvee, small group, pickleball, and walking around the complex. (Ask them about the Umbrella Story and the Iron Story, which are more fun to hear in person!) Dating started in December, and Joel knew by February that Jenny was the one!Jenny took a bit longer, but came to the same happy conclusion. (It was the gluten free Lasagna that did it!) During this time they enjoyed many a good cup of tea, explorations to the park, hours of classical music, many a good book, cooking favorite dishes, and some very rewarding birdwatching!
