Our Wedding

Message From Couple

We hope you will make this trip as much a vacation for yourselves, as a celebration of our love. It would mean so much to us for you to take time out of your busy lives to spend the weekend celebrating with us!

See you in Mexico!

Also, in lieu of gifts, your presence is truly more than enough, no gifts please.

About Us

Like any good love story, they met at a bar. At first, Jessica thought Chad was icky and gross (his words, not hers!) but after a few months of working together Jessica started to see that Chad was kind, intelligent, and a gentleman. Chad knew from the start that he was going to have to strap in for a wild ride with Jessica and that ride has no end in sight. Between training for Speed Rack and working on her PhD in Psychology, Chad immediately jumped in. After working together at Smoked for several months, Chad asked Jess out on their first date and took Jessica to an Indian restaurant that did not serve alcohol. To no one's surprise, Jessica was less than thrilled, but it then gave them a chance to have multiple first dates all in one night: first a dinner date, then drinks at a cocktail bar.

Soon, they started seeking out shifts to work closer together and have not been separated since.
