On their wedding day, Jenna and Ryan made a last-minute switch in their ceremony. They decided they wanted to read their vows during the first look. Watching this moment they originally shared alone is nothing short of magical. It's impossible not to get emotional as they both, with genuine honesty, share what the other's love has meant to them.
From The Bride:
Ryan and I met on Tinder, which is becoming more and more popular nowadays, but at the time the app had just come out! He was a Cadet at the Air Force Academy and I was in college in Boulder, CO. We first met in person at an outdoor concert in Vail. The next day we skied together, and ultimately bonded on our love for the mountains, music, and traveling. I always knew I’d marry a man in the military after growing up with parents who were, too. So my attraction to him was immediate.
Ryan went off to achieve his dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the Air Force. We were long distance for over a year, and finally joined each other after he was done with Undergraduate Pilot Training and after we got engaged! Our next duty station will be in England where he will be flying the F-15 full time.
We got married in the winter where it all started in Breckenridge, Colorado. It was seriously beautiful that day with perfect weather and everything we imagined. Possibly the most unique part about our day is we decided last minute to read our heart-felt vows to each other during first look. It was by far the best part of the day. We allowed them to come straight from the heart without the audience. We hope you enjoy!
