Caroline and Jackson met on August 16th, 2018, at the annual freshman welcome barbecue at the University of Missouri. From the very first moment, something sparked—they were instantly drawn to one another. It was very clear to both of them that this was not an ordinary connection. It didn’t take long for their connection to grow, and about a month later, they officially began dating.

Throughout their four years at Mizzou, their relationship was a constant source of joy and strength. Friends often remarked how steady and sure they were in their love, and it was clear to anyone around them that they had truly found their match.

After graduating together from the Trulaske College of Business in 2022, Caroline and Jackson moved to Chicago to begin their next chapter. They embraced city life, built their careers, and have grown to lay a foundation rooted in love and trust.

Through every season and milestone, their certainty in one another never wavered. From that very first spark, to building a life side by side, they have always felt meant to be. Which made the next step in their story the easiest decision yet!
