They met their very first day of dental school. Ali was intrigued by Jack and his friend sitting with them. As she asked the two questions, they continued to answer the same thing. Surprised by their similar answers, it wasn’t until later she discovered that Jack and his brother were twins. Four months later Jack and Ali began dating.
One year after they met, the two were up in Brainerd, Jack’s hometown, for a wedding. When the wedding was over, they decided to go to a local winery and then back to Jack’s parents house to go boating. On the way to the boat, the two stopped under the trellis that Jack’s grandfather built. While Ali was getting things ready to go on the boat, Jack said, “Ali, turn around, I need to show you something.” She turned around and found Jack down on one knee. Stunned, she said yes, and instead of a boat ride, the two headed into the house where Jack’s family was waiting and they all celebrated together.
Their June wedding day was filled with family and friends who came from all over the state to celebrate with them in the city of Brainerd that both of them hope to end back up in.
Ali’s mother passed away a few years ago, and as the youngest sister, her older sisters stepped up to love on her and make sure that she felt her mother’s presence there that day. Ali was gifted a piece of their mother’s wedding dress that she placed around her bouquet and was near Ali for the day.
The pastel color theme that Ali and Jack chose for their day was stunning against the green trees.
Both Ali and Jack love being with their family and they love the outdoors. After the ceremony, just the three of us headed to Jack’s friend’s cabin on the lake where we got some beautiful sunshine and even stepped in the water to cool down for a bit!
The night ended with toasting, dancing and conversations on the lawn of Whitefish Lodge. We even headed out to the nearby golf course as the sun was going down for some beautiful sunset shots.
Ali and Jack, what a complete JOY it was to spend the day with you, your family and friends. You are both kind, gracious and have huge hearts. I am so very, very thankful our paths have crossed and wish you a very blessed marriage.
