Their Story

Jackie and Andreas tied the knot at the Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station on May 20, 2023. They met on Bumble during a freak snowstorm in November 2018. They went on their first date a few days later.

The Proposal 

Andreas popped the question while the couple was vacationing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. “It was exactly what I had told him I wanted the proposal to be like (no one else there, no one hiding behind a busy capturing everything on an iPhone), and I appreciated that he took that to heart,” Jackie says.

Choosing the Venue

The couple loved the rustic and elegant feel of the Ryland Inn.

Details of the Day
