Wedding Day

Our Wedding

It all began in middle school on May 5th, 2017, when two eighth graders decided to take a chance on young love. Since that day, we’ve grown up together. Nine years of love, growth, laughter, and navigating life side by side. We’ve been through school, sports, personal challenges, and big milestones, and through it all, we’ve chosen each other again and again.Milena has been Jess’s number one fan throughout his entire baseball career, always there, cheering him on with pride and unwavering support. Jess has loved Milena through every season of life, always steady, always kind, loving her the way Jesus loves, with grace, patience, and deep compassion.Our relationship has always been rooted in faith, and we are committed to keeping Christ at the center as we step into this new chapter. We are so excited to celebrate our love, our journey, and our future with the people we love most.

Our Story

Jordyn, I can’t wait to officially become sisters. From the start, we’ve become inseparable. You’re my person, the one I talk to about everything. Your loyalty, friendship, and love mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have you standing with us. There’s no one else I’d rather have in this role.

Rachel is Jess’s older sister, and over time, she’s become like a sister to me too. She’s been a constant support in our lives, and her relationship with Jerret has always been something Jess and I look up to. Rach, thank you for everything, you’ve shown us what love and commitment look like. I couldn’t have asked for a better “sister-in-love,” and I truly couldn’t imagine saying “yes” without you by our side.

Paul is not just my best man—he’s my big brother, my lifelong friend, and the guy who’s been by my side since day one. Growing up, we definitely knew how to get on each other’s nerves, but as the years passed, we’ve become closer than ever. I honestly couldn’t imagine life without him, and there’s no one else I’d rather have standing next to me on one of most important days of my life.

Jerret has been a part of my life since I was ten years old. Over the years, he’s become like another big brother and someone I’ve looked up to in more ways than one. I’ve truly enjoyed having him around all this time, and I’m honored to have him standing beside me on my wedding day.

Jack, we could not imagine life without you! You have brought us the most joy and we can’t wait for you to be a part of our big day! We love you so much!
