Jeremy and Monica first met in college at Texas State University in 2021. Monica first caught Jeremy eye in the Student Union during freshman orientation. He was too nervous to approach her at first, but later that day, mustered up some courage and said: "Hi-dee!"—mixing up "hi" and "howdy". Fortunately, Monica thought this was adorable and the rest is history.  

​

During college, Jeremy and Monica traveled extensively—backpacking through Europe during their semester in Italy. One of their favorite memories is trying a new gelato place almost every day while visiting Rome. 

 

Jeremy proposed to Monica a few months after college graduation by renting out a movie theater. Jeremy thought she was seeing a screening of her favorite film, The Lion King, but Jeremy had created a slideshow of photos from throughout their relationship which was playing on the movie screen. Needless to say, Monica said yes (and they did end up watching The Lion King!). 

 

We can't wait to celebrate with you at our wedding ceremony and reception in July!
