It all started with a blind date setup by the one and only Kate Wilkerson — proving once again that sometimes your friends really do know best. Charlie and Jordan’s first date almost didn’t happen after Charlie called to say he was sick. Jordan wasn’t completely convinced it wasn’t just a creative excuse… but to Charlie’s credit, he actually was sick (a fact later confirmed). Thankfully, Jordan decided to give him one more shot, and the rescheduled first date turned out to be the start of everything.

Fittingly, that first date ended at the Loews Hotel — the same place where everyone will be staying during the wedding weekend years later. Since then, Charlie and Jordan have been pretty inseparable. Whether they’re traveling to visit family, trying new restaurants and cocktails, cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, or planning the next party, they’ve built a life centered around fun, family, and making memories together.

Coming from two big Catholic families, they’ve always known the importance of love, traditions, and togetherness. Jordan’s loud and lively family keeps gatherings full of incredible food and even louder conversations, while Charlie’s family has shown them the value of strong traditions and unwavering support for one another.

After five amazing years together (which somehow flew by), Charlie and Jordan have truly become best friends. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most — and they can’t wait for a lifetime of adventures, memories, and so much love! Let's get this party started!
