We’re getting married!

Ashlen and Jakob met while working at Hyman's Seafood in downtown Charleston. While they served their customers, Ashlen was serving looks, and Jakob took notice. It was September 2017, and Jakob knew he had to introduce himself to the cute girl who recently started. Ashlen thought he was sweet, and while she didn't think much about it, she was still intrigued. After working together for a few months, Jakob invited Ashlen and their coworkers over to hang out. That night, Jakob made his move, and Ashlen was hooked. They started hanging out every day, and officially started dating on February 8th, 2018. Since then, they've grown their relationship over the years. Traveling to Disney World and Texas gave Jakob insight to some meaningful places for Ashlen. Ashlen has visited Jakob’s hometown of Easley, SC many times and she couldn’t love it there more. The highlight of their relationship was being able to start a small family with their cat, Belle, and dog, Maximus— whom they adore immensely. Ashlen loves how caring and giving Jakob is, how much he makes her laugh, and all the memories she has made with him. Jakob admires Ashlen’s work ethic and her care for other people. He says she is always working to help them make a beautiful life for themselves. Jakob has helped Ashlen become bolder (fun fact: Jakob has a tattoo that says “Be Bold” and he definitely lives by it!) and more confident, while Ashlen has encouraged Jakob to take care of himself and has helped him become more comfortable being himself around other people. They've helped each other become better versions of themselves, and have become the best of friends. Ashlen and Jakob are so excited to start the next chapter of their lives, and they hope to see you at the wedding!
