Wedding Date on Sep 11, 2021

We met serving as teachers at youth KOSTA in 2019, a Christian conference for the youth. I surprised Jamie with an engagement party with more than a dozen of her closest friends, my sister, a couple of my friends, and both side's parents. I manipulated the date in the ETA email from Blue Nile so Jamie thought the ring was still in transit. She had no clue! This was November 14, 2020. Because it was a COVID delayed wedding, we had to notify all of our vendors and quickly lock in a date that worked out for all vendors. That happened to be the 20th anniversary of 9/11. At the beginning of the ceremony, we had a brief moment of silence which we thought was meaningful.
