Our Wedding

On February 4th 2023, I (Jenna) was competing at a Ripon college track meet. As I was heading back to the track; I saw this tall, handsome, brown eyed boy walk past me. He was on the St. Norbert’s track team (our rivals, as a Concordia athlete myself). The poor guy had a bloody nose; So…to me, it was the perfect opportunity to approach him. I jokingly offered him a tampon to stop his bloody nose and we both laughed and went on our way. We began to have more conversations over the track season and eventually got each other’s contact information so we could get to know each other more. Our first date was at the end of the school year, May 19th, 2023 and over the summer we talked off and on occasionally. Beginning January 2024, we became more serious and spent time with each other every weekend. On February 5th 2024, Kyle left for army basic training and for the next 5 months we wrote love letters back and forth. Not only was Kyle a romantic, but he showed me how Christ centered and intentional he was with me. On June 26th, 2024, Kyle came back home and we continued discussing our goals, values, and faith. We knew our next move, and on the following June 6th, 2025, while on a family trip to Hawaii, Kyle proposed as we watched the sunrise at Volcano National Park. I’m so excited for you all to be part of the next step of our love story and we appreciate all of you for being so special in both our lives! Love Kyle and Jenna.
