This love story began 8 years ago as all love stories do… with a trip to the bathroom. While at Holy Family Jacob left the hall to use the bathroom. While departed, Jacob was signed up to be on Holy Family’s Retreat Team by his personal decision maker, his sister Ciera. With Emily already on team, it was only a matter of time until they fell in love. Months passed and the two were merely acquaintances. One summer day, Emily asked for a group of team members’ phone numbers, Jacob being one of them. Later that day was a turning point in Emily & Jacob’s relationship, he messaged her on Facebook. And so began the constant messaging, texting and talking on the phone daily that would become their norm. On September 28, 2012 the two officially began dating. Over 8 years the love grew resulting in Jacob proposing to Emily on December 2, 2019 during a quiet evening at the home the two had purchased together. The story continues on April 11, 2021 with all of you as witnesses to the love and respect that Emily & Jacob share for one another.
