ohh people… you have got to het to know this ahhhmazing couple!

Kirsten & Jackson ♥️

How/when did you meet each other:: We met in 2015 in Pittsburgh during Kirsten's senior year at the University of Pittsburgh through pure fate. Jackson's groomsman, Alex Baker, was dating (now engaged) to Kirsten's Maid of Honor, Cori Plesko (then college roommate), and Jackson was recently stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base about 3 hours away in Ohio. Baker was in Pittsburgh visiting Cori, and invited Jackson out to visit... After that weekend, Jackson just kept visiting Pittsburgh to see Kirsten…

How did he propose:: Jackson was at Air Force Reserves training in Biloxi, MS in the summer of 2020. Kirsten LOVES the beach and visited for Labor Day weekend along the gulf coast. We had an private sunset dinner cruise Thursday, woke up Friday for a long sunrise run together, enjoyed the beach during the day, took out jet skis, surf and turf dinner, and finished with a sunset walk on a secluded beach with an amazing view where we came across a blanket, champagne and Jackson dropped a knee.

What do you love about each other:: Kirsten is driven, smart, and constantly challenges me to become a better person. Jackson is selfless, loyal, loving and my best friend who brightens my days constantly.

Interests/hobbies you enjoy doing together:: Running, hiking, kayaking, brewery hopping, traveling to new places, watching movies

When I tell you… I instantly feel in love with these people! Yes… whole truth! The are sincere, kind, sweet, caring, loving… all that oouuie goouiie stuff! Yes! These two and their families. Their wedding day didn’t go as planned due to an unexpected Florida storm but that didn’t even faze them… they laughed they danced and true enjoyed every single moment of their day with the people they love. 

We are honored to have been a part of Kirsten & Jackson’s love journey and we wish both ALL good things in ALL they do. Cheers to an amazing, I mean ahhhmazing couple!
