Our Wedding

Like many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe right. Jerred and Kimmie met on Hinge—yes, that part of the internet where you hope for sparks and pray you don’t end up in a true crime documentary. Lucky for us, we matched.Our first conversations were filled with funny videos, random memes, and late-night texts that kept us both up way too late. Who knew those “LOL”s and “LMAO”s would turn into something real?A month later, we had our first date at Terry’s Terrace. Kimmie thought Jerred was a little quiet at first, but warm, welcoming, and—let’s be honest—pretty easy on the eyes. Plus, that sarcastic edge of his had her laughing (and rolling her eyes, but mostly laughing). Jerred thought Kimmie was refreshingly open and totally herself—no filter, no pretending. Just real, and absolutely beautiful for it.After a brief hug and quick wave goodbye, neither of us had any idea what was ahead. Kimmie, still learning how to balance the dating world as a single mom, wasn’t sure if Jerred knew what he was signing up for. But Jerred never flinched—he stepped right in with full superhero energy and never looked back. He’s been making her laugh, lending his support, and willingly sacrificing his fries ever since.The moment Kimmie knew Jerred was “the one” came when her daughter Piper stayed over at Jerred’s with the two of them for the first time. Piper had trouble falling asleep, so Kimmie laid down on the floor next to her. A few minutes later, Jerred walked in—not with a nod or a “good luck,” but with a pillow. He gently lifted Kimmie’s head, tucked the pillow underneath, and laid down beside them. That small gesture said everything. In that quiet moment, she knew: this man wasn’t just in it for her. He was in it for them.Jerred’s “this is the one” moment came during their second date—nothing dramatic, just Kimmie demolishing a burger like she hadn't eaten in days. With a stunned look, he said, “Wow, you really don’t care, do you?” And with that signature sass, Kimmie replied, “Nope. I really don’t.” And that was it. Jerred knew—this was his person.Since then, we’ve been building a life full of laughter, late-night talks, inside jokes, and endless sarcasm. We’ve weathered the ups and downs, grown stronger together, and embraced every messy, beautiful moment of our journey.When we got engaged, we thought we were just planning a wedding and preparing to say "I Do," but life had bigger plans. Since then, we’ve bought our first home together, and most exciting of all, we are welcoming our second daughter, Delilah, into the world. We just know she cannot wait to meet you all on our families big day. Piper is now in proud big sister mode, and our hearts (and hands!) are fuller than ever.It’s been a whirlwind of change, love, and growth—all before we’ve even said “I do.” We’re so excited to officially start this next chapter, surrounded by all of you who’ve been with us through every step of the way. We can’t wait to celebrate, laugh, maybe cry a little, and begin the rest of forever—together.

Jessica is not just one of my many sisters, but a constant presence in my life. From childhood to adulthood, she has stood by my side through every milestone, challenge, and celebration. Her unwavering support, love, and understanding have shaped so much of who I am today. She’s not only my sister but also my best friend, confidante, and the one I can always count on. I’m beyond grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day, as she has been with me through every step of life.

Her sense of humor is one of a kind—she has the incredible ability to make you laugh even on your toughest days. I’m so lucky to have her by my side, not just as a bridesmaid or sister, but as a constant source of love and joy in my life.

I’ve known Jessie since 2007 when she was just a little rambunctious 6-year-old, and from the very beginning, she’s been the little sister I always wanted. Jessie has this amazing ability to see the best in people, and her bright spirit is a shining light on even the darkest days. Her heart is warm and her creativity knows no bounds—she’s one of the most artistic people I know. But above all, Jessie is the most caring soul, always putting others first. I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side as a bridesmaid and lifelong friend.

Chrissy is the most amazing mom to my two fabulous nieces, and she truly defines what it means to be dedicated and determined. Her heart is overflowing with love, and she is the most caring person you’ll ever meet. It’s hard to say which is better—her warm, comforting hugs or her infectious laugh that fills any room with joy. Chrissy has a special gift for making everyone feel like part of the family, and I’m so lucky to have her by my side as a bridesmaid and as my sister.

Krystal Riesbeck

Raven is a true firecracker—full of energy, passion, and heart. We met on Bumble BFF and hit it off immediately, and over the past five years, we’ve been through so many walks of life together: heartache, love, parenthood, and everything in between. Raven is the kind of person who will always have your back, no matter what. She loves a challenge or a new hobby, and there’s nothing she can’t accomplish once she sets her mind to it. Watching her grow and learn to love herself has been such a beautiful journey, and I’m beyond lucky to call her my best friend, my soul sister, and my partner in crime.

Raven Gardiner

Brittany welcomed me into the family with open arms the moment I stepped through the door. She’s an incredible mother, friend, wife, sister, aunt, and her love truly knows no bounds. Being around Brittany feels like being with someone you’ve known your entire life—her warmth and kindness make you feel instantly at ease. She’s accepting, always has your back, and has the most beautiful smile that lights up any room. I feel so lucky to call you family, and I can’t wait to officially be your sister!

Brittany Felix

Jacob, along with my other amazing nieces and nephews, is truly one of the brightest lights in my life. From the days of being a ninja turtle-loving boy to growing into a smart, kind, and incredibly talented young man, I have watched him blossom into someone truly special. His passion for musical theatre and education is something I deeply admire. Whether we're sharing Cracker Barrel dates or engaging in a fierce iOS game rivalry, Jacob has always been my biggest fan and unwavering supporter. I am beyond excited to have him stand by my side on such a special day!

Jacob Young

Tom is Kimmie’s brother-in-law and has been a part of her life for over 21 years. He’s witnessed her growth from a spirited 10-year-old into the adventurous adult she is today. Through every triumph, challenge, and adventure, Tom has been there, offering support and love along the way. Having him marry us is an incredibly special and meaningful moment that reflects the deep bond we have shared throughout the years
