Our Wedding

Our story began many years ago, back in middle school. Jackson played on my dad’s travel football team, often coming over to our house to train and watch film, while I kept to myself. We would pass in the school hallways and exchange quick hellos, never realizing the beautiful journey that was ahead of us.As our high school years came to a close, Jackson asked me on a date. Looking back, that choice changed everything and set us on the path we were always meant to walk together.Through six years of long distance, our love only grew stronger. I spent much of undergrad and law school driving up and down the East Coast to support Jackson as he excelled in playing college football and earning his degree. Together, we learned patience, faith, and what it truly means to choose each other every single day.Now, as we finish school and step into this new season of life, we know there has never been a more perfect time to unite our hearts under God. Our love story is one of persistence, sacrifice, and grace. Soon, it becomes a promise for forever.

Middle School to Marriage!
