we met in 2016… now, nine years later, we’re getting married!
HOW IT BEGAN
—
Micah and Jenna met for the first time in 2016 at track practice. Jenna was a 5th grader at Sully Christian School and Micah was a 6th grader at Peoria Christian School. Let’s just say it was not love at first sight…however, just 4 years later, after many evening drives, ice cream runs, and cross country practices, Micah and Jenna would officially start dating on October 19, 2020.
OUR FAVORITE DATE
—
Micah and Jenna both agree that their absolute favorite date that they’ve ever been on was actually their first ‘official’ date! Micah took Jenna out to the Best Burger Cafe in Kellogg (as per Jenna’s request) for burgers and ice cream. Afterwards, they went on another evening drive and had lots of fun talking, listening to music, and watching the sunset. Although they’ve been made fun of (just a bit ;)) for their rather informal first date, it’s one of their favorite memories together!
THE PROPOSAL
—
On July 26th, 2024, after spending the day at the state baseball tournament with Jenna’s dad, brother, and Erika’s boyfriend Grant, Micah picked up the ring from the jewelers and headed home to take Jenna out to a musical that she had convinced him to go to. Afterwards, Micah asked if they could take a walk to the Molengracht, where (to Jenna’s obvious surprise) he proposed!
And the rest is history!
there are a lot of other funny stories that could have been told on this page… but we’ll just save those for another time! we are so grateful to share our love with you on our special day!
