20 years ago, we had no idea that a chance meeting at choir rehearsal would lead to this incredible journey. Our love story is full of laughter, faith, and a little persistence (okay, maybe a lot on Mr. Jones's part).

In this special moment, we’re sharing the story of how we met, the hilarious twists and turns of our early days, and the unforgettable proposal that started it all. Spoiler: There were tears, a little drama, and garlic cheddar biscuits involved!

On our 20th anniversary, we’re looking back at how it all began and celebrating the love, growth, and grace that have carried us through. Watch, laugh, and fall in love with the story of us.

Join us as we reflect on the moment we said “yes” to forever. 💚
