Our Wedding

Written by Jaryd Jones (groom) Our story begins as all great tales of romance do: meeting on Hinge. We matched in November 2021 and hit it off immediately due to our mutual love for travel, and soon we were making lists of places we wanted to see when we could (Iceland and Bali coming soon!). We would talk and text every day, and as we began to learn more about each other, our relationship blossomed into something truly special. A few months later, I was in front of her apartment with a boombox playing "Just The Two Of Us" by Bill Withers, and soon after that we were an official couple. As time passed, we continued to actively build upon our relationship by learning more about each other and ourselves. Even if things weren't perfect all of the time, we persevered through open and honest communication, as well as a mutual love for each other that refused to subside. On a rainy day in November 2024, I asked Kristin for her hand in marriage. As we count down the days until our wedding, our story continues to be written. We cannot wait to step into this next chapter of our lives together, and we are glad you will be there to celebrate with us!
