Abby and Jakob met at Hawley High School. They shared many amazing memories together doing music and theater activities. Abby even asked Jakob to be her date to senior prom! Abby graduated and went to NDSU in 2014. Although the pair grew apart, something brought them back together in the summer 2015, when they officially began dating. Jakob graduated in 2016 and headed off to South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, SD. The couple faced many challenges as they conquered their long distance love, but now it's clear the time apart has only made them stronger. In December 2019, just after Christmas, Jakob asked Abby to be his wife in the middle of her apartment kitchen after a fun-filled day of baking, movies, naps, and Zorbaz. Abby and Jakob are ecstatic to walk through this journey of life together!
