Our story really starts in middle school. It was mainly puppy love and cute crushes. We didn't reconnect until Jacob's junior year and Elyssa's senior year in high school. With only a year left in our hometown before Elyssa went to college, we made the most of our year by falling in love. Throughout college, our love only grew stronger. And as many of you know, it's where we formed a bond with so many of our life-long friends. We both knew from that day back in high school that what we had was lightening in a bottle. 10 years later, and the spark is still shining brighter than ever.
