Aria and Jed read the most beautiful letters to each other at the start of their film! They both get sweetest by the moment, and then she promises to get her puppy. And now even WE know he's the one. ;)
From The Bride:
Jed was interviewing for medical residency at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where I happened to work, and for that weekend of his interview he stayed with a couple he was friends with. He had gone to college, University of North Carolina, with his friend Charlie and asked to stay the weekend. Charlie’s wife, Erin, was one of my best friends after going to college together, Clemson University. Erin called me and said she and Charlie had a friend in town that they were going to go out and watch football with and invited me to join and I did. I met their friend Jed and was immediately attracted to him… and I guess likewise. We had a great time just chatting and getting to know each other while watching football but the next day he got on a plane and flew back to New York City where he was attending medical school. I thought I would never see him again. He had an interview in later weeks in Chicago, a city we had discussed as he had never been and I used to live there, and he got my number from Erin to ask me for some suggestions. We started texting… and then talking… and then he came back to visit in Atlanta… and then I visited in New York… and then he matched to his residency at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville. I had just finished my internship at Emory and would be looking for work. Although we had only been dating for a few months, Atlanta to New York, I thought worst case scenario I move to a super cool city and we don’t work out but I have a new life experience. So we both moved to Nashville, separately, and I also started working at Vanderbilt. Two years later… Jed surprised me with a trip to Chicago for my birthday – a city that I had always loved and that somewhat brought us together. I was ready to go out on the town and meet up with my friends there but before we left our hotel room Jed got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It has been a blast of a whirlwind ever since. He is originally from Baltimore and I from Missouri with family and friend spread throughout the country and even to other countries. We decided to bring people to us, a fun city for our traveling friends and family and the place we started our lives together. Not being from the city and not having family here I knew that having a wedding planner was going to be a big help. Not only did I find an amazing wedding planner she truly brought together the A-team of vendors in this town and created a wedding weekend we could not have dreamed. It still feels surreal and we would relive it any day. It was the best day of our lives and we are so thankful for each other, our friends and families that surrounded us with love and all of the talented people that dreamed up, created and captured a perfect day.
