Some love stories start close to home—and Jayden and Zane’s is one of them. Zane had been her brother’s best friend since they were kids, and over time, that friendship turned into something much more. On April 19, 2025, surrounded by family, friends, good food, and classic cocktails, they celebrated the beginning of their forever.

The Proposal

Every year, the couple takes a trip to Broken Bow, a place full of memories and traditions. It was there, at the lake they always drive around, that Zane got down on one knee and asked Jayden to marry him. A perfect moment in one of their favorite places.

Choosing Their Venue

For their wedding, Jayden and Zane wanted a backdrop that felt intimate, timeless, and full of charm. They found exactly that at Daffodil Hill in Bethany, Oklahoma—a cozy, beautiful venue snuggled away like something out of a fairy tale. The lush greens and blooming flowers created an atmosphere that was both classy and enchanting. With its warm, inviting spaces, Daffodil Hill set the stage for a celebration that felt personal, elegant, and unforgettable.

The Vibe of the Night

The theme of their wedding was a classy and elegant garden vibe. Guests were welcomed with a variety of hors d’oeuvres and a roast buffet, paired with classic cocktails. It was exactly the kind of menu that brought everyone together—great food, plenty of drinks, and an atmosphere filled with laughter and conversation. The wine was a guest favorite, and it really set the tone for a fun night!
