Jake and Ashley were both living in Athens during the fall of 2020. Ashley had been out with some new friends, and one mentioned to her that she needed to meet Jake. After exchanging information, the two agreed to meet; however, things don’t always work out so easily. Jake’s dog, Tucker, then ate some socks and asked to reschedule the day before the first planned meeting. Ashley had a feeling right then that Jake cared for his dog as much as she cared for hers, so they were able to finally meet the next week. After their initial meeting, things went a bit more smoothly, and the rest, as they say, is history.
