Love Stories

Jenna + Justen

Justen and I met in high school. We took a German class together. We fell in love on our class trip to Europe. We shared our first kiss in London and started dating shortly after coming home. 8 years, 2 dogs, and a house later, and we're still here. 

Justen proposed to me in June 2024 at the International Peace Gardens. After visiting the Naples Botanical Gardens in Naples, FL, we decided to take a day trip there because I thought it was crazy that I was born and raised in North Dakota and had never been. I had a hunch that he was proposing when he was very persistent about planning this trip to the Peace Gardens, and he knew if he was going to propose to me, the best way to do it was in a place with lots of flowers. It was a great day!

On our wedding day, I am especially looking forward to being surrounded by every single person we love. I'm also looking forward to details—things like flowers and the wedding cake.
