It all started with a blind date at Panera in March 2022! Hunter's parents and Jordan's Uncle Rick and Aunt Marcia came up with the idea, and we each decided to take a chance on the opportunity.

We took our time getting to know each other, enjoying dates and conversation, from seeing the latest Agatha Christie book-to-movie adaptation, to eating Vietnamese food, and visiting the Philadelphia Art Museum.

By summer of 2022, we knew we wanted to date as boyfriend and girlfriend to explore whether we could be life partners. Many hours were spent taking walks, playing Scrabble, connecting with one another's families, attending Bible study together, cooking, laughing, dancing, and reading. (Jordan insisted that Hunter read Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry; now Hunter thinks all of you should read it too.) We also put a lot of mileage on our vehicles driving the 80 minutes between Perkasie and Reading!

Through the rest of 2022 and 2023, we continued pursuing each other, falling in love, getting to know one another's family and friends, learning each other's quirks, and dreaming about what could be. As we walked through the ups and downs of life hand in hand and prayed about our future, it became increasingly clear that we wanted to build a life together.

In December of 2023, we made it official! Hunter proposed at Lock Ridge Park, where we had gone on a picnic date in April 2022 and spent seven hours talking (and getting sunburned beyond belief). Jordan said yes! (And then immediately began researching all things wedding-related.)

We are so incredibly thankful for our wonderful families who have supported us along the way; for our parents and grandparents who have modeled deep love and faithfulness in marriage; and for our amazing friends and church communities who have walked with us. We feel so blessed that the Lord has brought us together and surrounded us with so many loving people. We can't wait to be married in the presence of our loved ones and celebrate the start of our life together with our community!
