Lydia and Jordan’s story began over a decade ago, when they met as freshmen in high school. What started as a simple friendship quickly blossomed into something more. Their first semester together, Lydia made quite the impression — throwing carrots at the back of Jordan’s head during a test!

Despite the vegetable assault, they quickly became friends, sharing laughs, classes, and eventually, more.

Fast forward to 2015, when the stars finally aligned, and they took the leap from friends to a couple. Their bond only grew stronger as they both headed to Appalachian State University, where Lydia studied Exercise Science and Jordan pursued a degree in Accounting. It was here, surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, that they made memories to last a lifetime — hiking Boone trails, enjoying college life, and growing together as they prepared for their futures.

After graduating, and before Jordan continued his studies in the Master’s Program at Appalachian, they decided to take a bold step: a three-week road trip across America! They visited 11 national parks, explored the great outdoors, and wrapped up their journey with time in Michigan, embracing the thrill of adventure together.

In 2022, they made a big move to Charlotte, excited to start a new chapter of life and continue their journey side by side. Not long after, they added two furry friends to their family — Raven and Purrogi, their playful and loving cats, who have brought even more joy to their home.

Now, as they prepare to marry, Lydia and Jordan are more excited than ever to begin this new chapter of their story as husband and wife. With their love, laughter, and sense of adventure, they can’t wait to continue building a beautiful life together. Here's to many more years of love, adventure, and memories to come!
