Our Wedding

Lainey &amp; Jamie met in the summer of 2017 working at Best Impressions Caterers. Jamie was a full time event manager and Lainey a part time server. They both took notice of each other but remained friendly. Jamie’s roommate was the scheduling manager and saw to it that Lainey was staffed to every event Jamie managed that summer. A cordial workplace friendship quickly turned into more, given the inevitable set up. The relationship became official that October and the rest is history. Lainey &amp; Jamie got engaged on their 7th anniversary, 10/11/24, and look forward to starting this next chapter together surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends. -----------------------------------------

The future bride and groom have suffered two great losses this year -- the passing of both of Jamie’s parents, Jim and Donnell Landen. They are missed immensely and the wedding will not be the same without them.While his parents were in and out of the hospital battling separate health obstacles, they both had one goal in mind-- being there for Jamie &amp; Lainey on February 14th. They knew this to be the tentative wedding date and both gave all they had in hopes of standing by their side.They will certainly be in attendance in spirit and in memory.Jamie &amp; Lainey want to honor them by committing to 2/14/26. They would be thrilled if you are able to attend but also understand that the date is quickly approaching.
