Our Wedding

Jared and Sandra first met in October 2018 in Las Vegas. On their 2nd date they realized that they had common friends and had actually been at a friend’s birthday party 2 years prior but did not get introduced. Timing is everything, though, and once they met things moved quickly…. And yes quickly they were moving in together and moving across the country! The happy couple moved to Plano, TX in September 2019 for Jared’s job. Sandra also found a job back in the banking world soon after the move. After surviving COVID, Jared proposed in August 2021 and Sandra happily said yes. Less than a year later the two of them decided that they wanted to be back on the west coast and decided to move to Seattle, a town both had always loved. In July 2022 Jared and Sandra made the journey back across the country and settled into a townhouse in West Seattle. After 2.5 years in West Seattle the couple decided to move a little bit north to an area that had more of a mix of suburban and city life. They found an amazing townhouse in Lynnwood, WA and moved into their new home in January 2025. Once settled they decided to find the perfect wedding venue and get married in the summer of 2026. They found a great all in one venue in Mount Vernon, WA and that’s where we are now…. With the happy couple looking forward to celebrating their love and commitment to each other with their wedding on July 25, 2026.
