Our Wedding

It all started with a swipe. Jordan and Michaela met on the dating app 'Hinge'. Both the bride and groom were recommended to sign up for this app by members of their parties! Maid of Honor, Sarah Linton, recommended the app to Michaela, and Groomsman, Hunter Eminhizer, recommended the app to Jordan. One of their first conversations when getting to know each other included that Michaela liked the Star Wars franchise, to which Jordan replied with an engagement ring emoji saying, "this is for you." Little did he know... Michaela was skeptical that Jordan could be an axe murderer when she went to meet him for the first time, which was quickly put to rest after the couple became more familiar with each other. As short Saturdays spent together turned into long weekends, the couple embarked on their 'official' relationship journey starting on January 19, 2024. Since the beginning, not a moment has not been filled with an outpouring of love and laughter. From the start of their relationship, it has been a constant looking back of "when you know you know." Jordan popped the question at the perfect place, directly after Michaela's favorite show, Fantasmic, in Disney World on September 1, 2024 with an audience of her friends and family... and about 5,000 strangers. Their relationship has been what feels like a fairytale, and they cannot wait to see what adventures are next for them!

Our Story

Photos

I'm Sarah Linton, and I'm the Maid of Honor! I have known Michaela since I was born. I honestly think I was born just to be her best friend. We grew up together! We would go to Disney, on weekend trips, and go to each other's houses all the time. When we grew up, we grew closer on a different level. Michaela and I know everything about each other; our dreams, our passions, and many secrets! I met Jordan on Michaela and Jordan's second date. The first time I met him I knew he was perfect for Michaela (even if I thought he was an axe murderer before I met him). Jordan is now like a brother to me! I am so excited to stand by Michaela on her big day!

Sarah Linton

Hello, I'm Alyssa! I'm a dog and cat mom who loves to do all kinds of crafts and play video games. I've known Michaela since middle school and since then we've become closer and closer! I've known Jordan since him and Michaela began dating and we quickly became friends! My husband and I love spending time with Michaela and Jordan whether it's going out together, going to Disney, or doing other fun things and we can't wait to celebrate their big day!

Alyssa Kotby

Hello! I'm Bess! Living in NC now, I grew up in Bedford only a few blocks from Michaela. When we officially met in Middle School, we became immediate best friends and were attached at the hip. From my mom dropping us off at school to us eventually driving each other, we were a part of each other's daily lives and became sisters. Being states away now, nothing has changed and it's like we have never been apart when we are together. When she met Jordan, we could all tell that there was such a light in her life. We all immediately loved him, as we saw how much he loved and cared for her. I am so excited to be a part of their day and cannot wait to see where life takes them from here. Let's party!!!

Hey, I'm Michaela Dietz! I'm friends with the bride! We've been friends since high school and she's one of the best people I had the pleasure of meeting! Having her as one of my best friends has been a blessing in my life. I wish Jordan and Michaela a life-long happy marriage and many adventures!!

My name is Megan Howard. Michaela and I met in middle school, we danced and cheered together! Although we both quit cheerleading, we have danced together ever since!

Megan Howard

Kristen was Michaela's dance instructor since she was 10 years old, and their friendship quickly blossomed when Michaela graduated and became an instructor at her studio. They share the same humor and memories of many Disney trips together!

I am Jordan's "the groom" younger brother. I was also a member of Jordan's "the groom" bike gang growing up. But seriously, Jordan is my older brother and one of my best friends. He has always been there when I have needed him and if I ever need anything I know he will be there for me!!
