Eat, Drink, & Be Married

Jake and Ali’s story began with a first date in March of 2017—and from that moment on, they were pretty much inseparable. What started as a simple date quickly turned into something much bigger. Between laughter, late nights, and building a life side by side, it didn’t take long for them to realize they had found something special. Jake didn’t just fall in love with Ali—he embraced her kids as his own, and together they became a family in every sense of the word. Over the years, their life has been full of milestones and memories: moving in together, lots of everyday adventures, and in 2022, buying their home in Ashby—a place that truly became the heart of their growing family. Then came Christmas Day 2024, when Jake asked the easiest question and Ali gave the easiest answer: yes. Along the way, they welcomed Mason and Jack, completing their beautiful, lively family of seven. Life in their house is full, a little chaotic, and always filled with love (and probably some noise). Through it all, they’ve built a relationship rooted in laughter, loyalty, and choosing each other every single day. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
