Jenna & Jerome
September 6, 2025 | Redmond, WA
Our Story
We first met during Early Fall Start at the University of Washington in the summer of 2017, through mutual friends. What began as a casual connection soon deepened, especially during long evenings spent watching How I Met Your Mother with our friends. One of our earliest memories together was at a concert. Jerome mentioned that his hands were cold, so Jenna held his hand—and while it may have seemed small at the time, it was the first spark of something more.
Throughout college, we supported each other through life's ups and downs—celebrating birthdays, landing internships, and getting campus jobs. Our relationship didn't begin with a grand moment or a big declaration. Instead, what started as a friendship slowly evolved into something deeper, more meaningful, and eventually, a relationship.
After graduating, we moved into our first apartment together. It was there that Jerome really honed his skills as a cook, while Jenna took on prep and clean-up duty—turning everyday meals into one of our favorite shared routines. This year brings us many milestones, including buying our first home together, and now, getting married! We're so excited to begin our next chapter and to celebrate with the people who've been part of our journey.
