Megan was on the Swimming and Diving Team when Jarno arrived on campus to join the Basketball Team! Megan was assigned as a mentor to his teammates for the year. To welcome them, Megan made a home cooked meal. In true Megan fashion, she made entirely too much food! She invited them to bring friends, and here came Jarno ducking through her front door. Jarno’s heart was captured through his stomach, but Megan needed some convincing! There were many more home cooked meals to follow.

Jarno and Megan were and still are accident prone (shocker), leading to long hours in the training room together and becoming fast friends. After months of friendship, Jarno shot his shot only to be let down… but not for long!!! Megan finally came around (1 WEEK LATER) as she couldn’t resist his charm!

Soon after their love story officially began, COVID hit… Jarno and Megan moved back to Megan’s hometown as they waited for flights to start going back to the Netherlands for Jarno. After surviving three out of the first four months of dating with Megan’s family, he flew home and they proceeded to be long distance for the next three months. If they can make it through that, they can get through anything! Later, Megan was able to fly to meet Jarno’s family!

They later got Meera Rue LaFollette-Pomstra who is their favorite furry adventure buddy!

Jarno popped the question after a long hike… where they went the wrong way and the photographer had to leave nearly blowing his cover… but it all worked out! Both Megan and Meera said yes!

The bride and groom have been able to travel the world together and cannot wait to keep exploring and bring Meera along whenever they can. They are so excited to share this next adventure with you all!
