Reception

Our Wedding

Whitney and Jack first met while they were both working at Burger Jones in Uptown Minneapolis. While it was not romantic at first, they became quick friends and spent hours chatting and laughing on and off the clock. It soon became clear there was more to this relationship than just friendship, so in the Fall of 2018 they decided to make it official. They fell into their love like they had been together for years. Both of their families were immediate cheerleaders of the newfound partners and accepted both of them as family right from the start. During the Covid pandemic they started living together in all means except for an actual lease and by Fall 2020 they were officially roommates in the Kingfield neighborhood of South Minneapolis. They now live in an apartment together in North East Minneapolis right on the river and enjoy the best view in the city. They are both so grateful and happy they get to share this life with each other, and with all of you who have been a part of their love story. Lets celebrate!
