We first crossed paths in youth group, back in 2014; two hearts who instantly felt at home in each other’s company. What began as an easy friendship soon unfolded into something steady and real; someone who makes you laugh until your cheeks hurt, someone who listens through every season, someone who feels like home no matter where you go. Through late-night drives, spontaneous adventures, and cozy nights in, we built a bond rooted in trust, laughter, and the joy of discovering life together. Patience became our strength, laughter our language, and connection our constant. Then, on Christmas Day 2023, surrounded by the soft glow of family and twinkling lights, Jacob got down on one knee — and in that quiet, magical moment, everything felt right. It wasn’t just a proposal; it was a full-circle moment years in the making. Now, as we prepare to say “I do” among the Georgia mountains we carry the same sense of wonder we felt back then, grateful for every road that led us here, and excited for every new adventure waiting ahead. Here’s to our next chapter : the wild, the calm, and everything in between!
