Our Wedding

Jonah&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;met&nbsp;online&nbsp;in&nbsp;2014,&nbsp;back&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;still&nbsp;lived&nbsp;in&nbsp;Colorado.&nbsp;We&nbsp;had&nbsp;a&nbsp;long-distance&nbsp;relationship&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;while,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;felt&nbsp;comfortable&nbsp;with&nbsp;him&nbsp;and&nbsp;fell&nbsp;for&nbsp;him.&nbsp;&nbsp;Eventually&nbsp;in&nbsp;2015,&nbsp;I&nbsp;moved&nbsp;out&nbsp;to&nbsp;Kansas&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;with&nbsp;him.

How we met

I was especially young and dumb, so our first few years in particular weren't without some significant challenges and mistakes. In the end we always learned, grew, and adapted to better understand each other. Relationships are about growth and communication!

The early years...

Thankfully, by the time life started throwing new challenges at us, we had set a relationship foundation based on growing and communicating. Health problems and disabilities, house fires, financial stress, a pandemic, all were things that we were able to get through together.

Challenges brought us closer together..

We grew our family, both with adding a menagerie of pets and with growing closer with trusted "found family".

We grew our family..

Jonah&nbsp;helped&nbsp;me&nbsp;become&nbsp;more&nbsp;comfortable&nbsp;in&nbsp;expressing&nbsp;things&nbsp;I&nbsp;kept&nbsp;shying&nbsp;away&nbsp;from,&nbsp;like&nbsp;coming&nbsp;out&nbsp;as&nbsp;transgender&nbsp;and&nbsp;starting&nbsp;hormone&nbsp;replacement&nbsp;therapy.&nbsp;We&nbsp;helped&nbsp;each&nbsp;other&nbsp;as&nbsp;we&nbsp;both&nbsp;grew&nbsp;into&nbsp;our&nbsp;identities&nbsp;over&nbsp;the&nbsp;years,&nbsp;even&nbsp;when&nbsp;other&nbsp;people&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;always&nbsp;understand.

We grew more comfortable in ourselves..

We&nbsp;brought&nbsp;out&nbsp;and&nbsp;loved&nbsp;each&nbsp;others'&nbsp;inner&nbsp;child,&nbsp;loved&nbsp;each&nbsp;other&nbsp;through&nbsp;mental&nbsp;and&nbsp;physical&nbsp;health&nbsp;challenges,&nbsp;and&nbsp;made&nbsp;an&nbsp;effort&nbsp;to&nbsp;remind&nbsp;each&nbsp;other&nbsp;every&nbsp;day&nbsp;that&nbsp;we&nbsp;love&nbsp;us&nbsp;because&nbsp;of,&nbsp;not&nbsp;in&nbsp;spite&nbsp;of,&nbsp;the&nbsp;messier&nbsp;parts&nbsp;of&nbsp;ourselves.

We loved each other for who we were..

We can't wait for you to join us as we commit to the rest of our lives together!
