Den and Jared's story began with a first date at Sycamore Winery, where a beautiful day, a peaceful view of the lake, and effortless conversation made time seem to stand still. Afterward, they shared dinner at a small local tavern, and by the end of the evening, they both knew there was something special worth getting to know.

A week later, Jared "forgot" his card at the winery, giving them the perfect excuse to see each other again—a story they still laugh about today. From that point on, their relationship grew one intentional visit at a time. Even while working overtime, moving into a new home, and juggling a busy schedule, Jared faithfully made the drive to see Den whenever he could.

Those simple moments together became the foundation of a relationship built on faith, commitment, and choosing each other every day. They are so grateful for God's perfect timing and are excited to begin this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
