On a beautiful summer day, August 16, 2025, Aurélie and Jean-Luc will stand together, surrounded by family and friends, ready to celebrate their journey that began seventeen years ago. Their love story is a testament to fate, perseverance, and the magic of a simple MySpace introduction.

Aurelie and Jean-Luc’s love story started in 2008, during their senior year in high school. Aurélie, living in Omaha, Nebraska, with her family, had a bright smile and infectious energy. She loved shopping and exploring local boutiques. Jean-Luc was living with his sister Mimi in Washington, D.C., a city that fueled his passion for sports and entrepreneurship. He spent his free time playing basketball with friends.

One evening, as Jean-Luc scrolled through his MySpace profile, he received a message from one of his long-time best friends Messan: "Hey, you've got to meet this girl, Aurélie. I think you two would really hit it off." Intrigued, Jean-Luc clicked on Aurélie's profile. Her page was filled with vibrant photos. He sent her a message, and soon, they were chatting daily.

Their online connection quickly turned into a real-life friendship. They decided to meet in person, and Jean-Luc traveled to Omaha to see Aurélie. They spent hours talking about their dreams and plans for the future. It wasn't long before their friendship blossomed into something more.

After graduating high school, Jean-Luc pursued his bachelor's degree in Moscow Idaho. Despite the distance, he and Aurélie remained committed to each other. They visited as often as they could, their bond growing stronger with each visit. Aurélie, ever supportive, encouraged Jean-Luc's entrepreneurial ambitions and convinced him to move to Omaha after he completed his degree.

Years passed, and Aurélie and Jean-Luc built a life together in Nebraska. Their joy multiplied with the arrival of their children, Zada and Zane. Zada, with her mother's creative spirit, love to dress up and design her own outfits, while Zane, with his father's enthusiasm, enjoyed shooting hoops and cheering for LeBron James. Their home is always filled with laughter, love, and the chaos of a growing family.

Aurélie and Jean-Luc often reflected on their journey with gratitude. They were thankful for the family and friends who had introduced them, supported their long-distance relationship, and celebrated their milestones. Together, they traveled the world, exploring new places and cultures, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As they stand here today, ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives, Jean-Luc and Aurélie are filled with immense gratitude. Their love story, which began with a simple MySpace introduction, is the foundation of their beautiful life together. They look forward to many more adventures, challenges, and joys as husband and wife, surrounded by the loved ones who have been there every step of the way.
