We’re getting married!

Jacob and Cynthia met each other while working as event custodians at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, ND late 2017. Jacob had recently seperated from the US Marine Corps and had returned to North Dakota to pursue a degree in elementary education. Cynthia was finishing her junior year of high school and planned to enlist in the US Army Reserves after completing high school. Both of them bonded over their shared interests of military service, Star Wars, board games, VeggieTales, dancing, and most importantly their faith and love in God through Jesus Christ. They had their first (official) date May 4th, 2018. Since then, they have attended concerts from KISS, Journey, and Def Leppard; been to the EAA Airshow in Oshkosh, WI; visited Minneapolis, Orlando, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and even Honolulu; have gone on several roadtrips that have taken them through many states; had the privilege to visit Yellowstone National Park together; and more. After 4 years of dating, Jacob and Cynthia were ready to begin a new chapter together. On March 30th, 2021, Jacob asked Cynthia to be his wife. They have no doubt that the Lord brought them together and He has blessed them greatly. As they set their love on the foundation of Christ, they rejoice in their blessed love and look foward to many, many joyful years together in holy matrimony.
