Our Wedding

Our First Date

In August of 2014, Ray and Jenna went mini golfing for their first date in Hackettstown, NJ with a group of friends. At the time, Ray and Jenna were just 16 and 14 years old. Jenna came with her best friend, Katarina (a bridesmaid today!), and Ray came with a group of friends including Jake and Shane (two of the groomsmen today!). This date marked the start of Jenna and Ray's love story together.

On October 11, 2014, Ray officially asked Jenna to be his girlfriend and also, to go to the homecoming dance. Jenna wore Ray's football jersey during the homecoming game and they attended the homecoming dance as a couple. The first of many dances together!

Ray and Jenna went to 4 proms as a couple from 2015-2018. Their favorite high school memories were the football games under the Friday Night Lights!

COLLEGE DAYS & GRADUATIONS

After graduation, Ray started his job as a police officer in Washington (the town Ray and Jenna both grew up in) and Jenna started working as an actuary at MetLife. The start of their adult lives together!
