Our love story began almost ten years ago, when we were fresh out of college, young, a little clueless, and figuring life out as we went. What started as something simple, quickly grew into something extraordinary. As we grew up, we grew together— learning who we were as individuals and as partners, side by side.
Music became our language. Concerts turned into memories, and traveling opened our eyes to new places, cultures, and experiences that shaped us. We chased moments, tried new things, and built a life full of stories we’ll carry forever. Along the way, life tested us. We’ve walked through ups and downs, laughter and tears, loss and grief. Through it all, we learned every part of one another— strengths, flaws, and everything in between— and chose each other every single day.
Our love didn’t just survive those moments; it grew stronger because of them. With each challenge, our bond deepened, rooted in patience, understanding, and unwavering support. We’ve experienced life in its fullest form together, creating truly unforgettable memories that define who we are today.
One of the greatest gifts of our journey has been our families. Watching our parents and families grow closer over the years means more to us than words can express. Seeing them together, laughing and sharing moments, feels like the perfect reminder that love multiplies when it’s shared.
This chapter of our story is just the beginning. As we step into marriage, we do so with full hearts, endless gratitude, and excitement for everything ahead. We can’t wait to continue choosing each other, growing together, and writing the rest of our story— hand in hand.
From the very beginning of Jacob and I dating, golf was his thing— not mine. I’d ride around in the golf cart, hang out, look pretty, maybe enjoy a few cocktails, fetch a ball or two, and call it a day. For years, Jacob begged me to actually play, and for just as long, I blew it off with absolutely zero interest.
Then, almost two years ago, something changed. I finally thought, “Okay… maybe I’ll give this a shot. After all, Jacob played all the time—why not try to join him?” So I started hitting a few balls here and there, and while Jacob was out of town one weekend, I went rogue and bought myself a set of used old men’s clubs off of Facebook Marketplace.
Of course, that didn’t last long— Jacob eventually surprised me with my very own brand-new set. Since then, golf has become something we truly love doing together. Playing side by side, joining couples league, and spending time on the course has become one of our favorite ways to connect. We’ve even joined a country club, turning something that once felt like “his thing” into our thing.
Because of Jacob, I’ve grown to genuinely love the game of golf— and even more, I love what it represents for us: shared time, patience, laughter, and growing together. We can’t wait to keep playing alongside each other as we grow old together, one round at a time.
After the heartbreaking loss of our sweet Rosey girl, we took some time to heal before opening our hearts again. When the time was right, an unexpected opportunity fell into our laps— and it turned out to be one of the greatest blessings we could have asked for. A family friend was rehoming their sweet Sheepadoodle, and from the moment we met him, it was over. He was ours.
Hank has brought so much joy, laughter, and light back into our lives. We’ve fallen completely in love with his goofy personality and big heart. He’s attached to our hips—sometimes a little too attached—but we wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s truly our baby.
Coming home to his excited greetings every day is one of our favorite parts of life. He’s more than a dog—he’s family, and we’re so grateful he found his way to us.
