Our love story began in Battle Lake, MN back in 2008. Jesse had just moved from Perham, MN and Charlotte had recently moved from Jamestown, ND. Some flirtatious glances were exchanged for weeks with some lighthearted conversation. After a while, Jesse made the move and asked Charlotte to be his girlfriend … She wrote him a letter letting him down easy (something he still brings up to this day!). After the following year, they both moved back to their previous towns. Early 2017, they reconnected through Facebook and caught up on life. Jesse was a Corporal in the USMC stationed at Cherry Point, NC and Charlotte was a Funeral Director in her home town. Talking on and off for months, it was time to reconnect in person! Charlotte flew to Raleigh, NC where Jesse was waiting at the airport. Charlotte asked Jesse to go steady and date on August 11, 2017. “Distance makes the heart grow fonder”, they say. Well, they weren’t wrong! Jesse asked Charlotte to be his wife just after midnight on Christmas Day, 2020. They cannot wait to make it official in front of friends and family and celebrate with you!
