Jackie
&
Chris

It all started with a little bit of fate, a little bit of timing, and a chance meeting “in the wild”…

We met in the most unexpected way—when Jackie walked into Chris’s workplace as a customer. What began as a simple encounter grew into something neither of us could have predicted: a love filled with laughter, patience, adventure, and a whole lot of memories.

When we found each other, we were already on our own unique journeys. Together, we have embraced the beautiful, blended family we’ve created, with Chris becoming a loving partner and father figure, and the two of us being blessed with our own little one who brings us endless joy every day.

This spring, Chris surprised Jackie with an unforgettable engagement celebration at our home surrounded by the people who mean the most to us—a perfect reminder of the love and support that surrounds our story.

As we begin this next chapter, we look forward to a lifetime of growing, building, exploring, and creating memories together. Our greatest adventure is just beginning, and we cannot wait to celebrate it with you.
