Once upon a time...

They met in 2008 while working at Ohio Fireworks, and let's just say, sparks flew! They remained friends until 2011, when Jake finally asked Victoria if she would be his girlfriend. She introduced him to traveling and he showed her how to be outdoors-y.

They had talked about marriage several times, but decided that waiting until she finished school would be best. The wait was long, but worth it.

They went on a graduation-celebrating vacation to Disney World in Orlando. It was a blast! They saw Star Wars characters, rode almost all of their favorite rides, and Jake got to Drink Around the World at Epcot. On the last day in the parks, at Magic Kingdom beside Cinderella's castle, Jake suggested stopping for a picture. There was no one else around and the castle made the perfect backdrop. After convincing Victoria to stop and snapping a few pictures, Jake popped the question. After many "Are you serious?" and "You're joking's," Victoria said, "YES!"
