It was late, but there was studying for her undergrad to be done at St. Thomas. Jordan raced over to her friend’s dorm room knowing that she may not be able to catch him in time. In the frantic hustle, she left her phone in her room and upon arriving, she found that the dorm she was trying to enter was locked. Not quite knowing what to do next, she spotted a window near the door. Frantically yelling and trying to get the guy’s attention inside (and failing miserably) she picked up a nearby rock and threw it at his window. This immediately got Jackson’s attention. Thinking someone was trying to break in, he opened the window to find a very embarrassed, but very good looking, girl. Kind-hearted as he was, he let her in, but not without continuously thinking of her.
They continued to see each other in passing as the year went on and eventually they ended up in the right place at the right time and Jackson finally asked her on their first date. Taking bikes and trying to assemble a kite on one of the hottest, most humid, windless days, the couple had no luck, but they continued to fly (successfully!) to fly kites in the future.
When the day came for Jackson to finally propose to his beautiful girlfriend, he knew that kite flying had to be incorporated. Because Jordan is a teacher, he decided to put it in the form of a book with a kite on the cover. It was a perfect March day for kite flying when Jackson nonchalantly asked Jordan if she wanted to go out. They headed to a park where they had been to numerous times before where instead of flying the kite, Jackson took out the book that he made and got down on one knee with the ring in his hand.
Their November wedding day was a balmy 30 degrees and with a dusting of fresh snow on the ground. The couple chose to incorporate their love of ice cream into their wedding day as well their favorite colors, blue and pink. It was a beautiful day, and it was such a joy to spend with them! Congratulations you two!!
