Our Wedding

It all began in a high school creative writing class during senior year, where Jack Dyckman and Stephanie Peterson first crossed paths. Though they shared a few group projects, their conversations rarely extended beyond classroom walls. Fate, however, had other plans. Fast forward to college at WestConn—Jack and Stephanie kept finding themselves in the same classes, again sharing friendly smiles and casual chats, but never quite making that deeper connection. That is, until one day, Jack sent Stephanie a message out of the blue. What started as a simple text quickly turned into late-night conversations, shared laughs, and the spark of something special. A few weeks later, Jack worked up the courage to officially ask Stephanie out on a date, to the ever-so-fancy Three Brothers Diner. True to form, Jack did most of the talking while Stephanie smiled and giggled, but it was during that meal that they discovered a shared love for books, movies, and adorable dogs. From that moment, their story began to truly unfold. On April 20, 2019, they made it official. From spontaneous driving dates after class to cozy nights in, their bond grew stronger with each passing day. When the world slowed down during the pandemic, Jack and Stephanie spent countless days together in the man cave at Jack’s parents’ house, finding joy in each other’s company through uncertain times. In December 2023, they reached a new milestone—moving into their first home together, a cozy townhouse condo that they made their own. And then, in October 2024, on a breezy Cape May beach, their favorite getaway spot, Jack got down on one knee and asked Stephanie to be his forever. With happy tears and a huge smile, she said yes! Now, surrounded by their loved ones, they’re preparing for the next chapter of their story—saying “I do” this December at the enchanting Bill Miller’s Castle. They can’t wait to celebrate this magical day with you!
