A brief timeline of our relationship through photos:
✏️ September 2007: Jake and Emily meet in 4th grade. Over the next few years they become friends.
🍟 April 22, 2014: Emily is working at the Ward Concession Stand. Jake asks for discounted fries. Emily asks if he would like the "friends and family" discount. Jake confirms that they're more than just friends and they begin dating.
