Jessica + Derrick first met in their college Shakespeare class.  They worked on a project together, which turned into a first date to the movies, which led to more dates and an important first kiss.  The kiss blossomed into a seven-year relationship.  They grew together, learning each other inside and out.  He came to accept her passion for Harry Potter and every Pixar movie ever.  She learned to tolerate his extreme love of the Seattle Seahawks and even cheer along with him, except when they play the Browns…then he’s on his own.

After years together, Derrick planned out the perfect way to pop the question and tried to take Jessica for a special walk.  Because of the Arizona heat, Jessica almost skipped out on her own proposal, but Derrick was eventually able to convince her.  At the end of the walk, she found a tribute celebrating seven memorable years and one important questions.  She said yes.

Jessica + Derrick, may seven years turn into seventy.  Thank you for making me a part of your special day!  Have a fun trip across the ocean!  I hope it’s one to remember.
