We met in the library at Middle Tennessee State University when the fear of failing brought me to Jonathan's tutoring sessions. Late nights in the science building learning about chemical bonds brought us together and every day with him I learn something new. Thank goodness for tough classes!

Chattanooga is the first place we called home together while Jonathan was in his clinical years of medical school and while I was applying to PA school. We loved living where hiking trails and mountain views were all around us.

After more than 6 years of adventures together, 2 undergraduate degrees, 1 medical doctorate, 1 masters degree and several furry family additions, Jonathan proposed on one of the coldest days of the year at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Over the years we have bonded over our love for all things Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Disney. Keep an eye out at the wedding for hints of our favorite things.

With love, CJ and JByrd
