Our Wedding

ate what the future holds for us.Our story began with two people searching for love and a future filled with laughter and joy. We both joined Facebook Dating, not expecting much, but little did we know it would mark the beginning of our forever love story. We messaged each other and planned our first date. From that initial meeting, we both sensed something special. We ordered sushi, played games, and talked until three in the morning. As the evening ended, Thomas took a chance and kissed Jackie. From that moment on, we were inseparable, spending every free moment together, getting to know each other better.Since that first date, we've shared many adventures. Our first vacation took us to Ohio—yes, Ohio! (It has more to offer than you might think)—where we discovered our favorite brewery, Twin Oast. We celebrated Thomas's 26th birthday in Florida, enjoying relaxing days on the beach. We also took a trip to Frankenmuth, spending half the day at the Bavarian Inn arcade and the other half exploring our favorite magical spot. Jackie surprised Thomas in Chicago for New Year's, making sure we shared our first New Year's kiss! We explored Midland, Michigan, where we spent hours at a distillery and attended a baseball game. Along the way, we've enjoyed concerts, sporting events, and created countless memories filled with laughter.We decided to revisit Ohio and our favorite brewery on November 1st, 2025. Little did Jackie know that Thomas had planned to propose that evening. After Thomas asked Jackie to marry him, we spent hours playing UNO Flip and enjoying beers. The rest of the trip was filled with thrift shopping, Taco Bell runs, and exploring the local grocery store.Our love has deepened throughout our relationship and continues to grow stronger. We are excited for the next chapter in our love story and eagerly anticipate what the future holds for us.It all began with two people searching for love and a future filled with laughter and joy.
