Jacob and Hana met in 2011 through mutual friends at the age of 16. Their first date was a blind date at the movies. Years later, they laugh about how they both almost did not go that night. Jacob had already seen the movie they were going to, so during the movie he made sure to get his hands on Hana's phone and save his number. As soon as the movie ended and they both left, Jacob started to text Hana, which led to an eight year text thread.

Shortly after Hana and Jacob bought a home together, Jacob knew that it was time to ask Hana to be his wife. Jacob's brother Drew had texted them asking if they wanted to meet at the beach the following weekend to watch the sunset. Of course this was all just a rouse to get Hana to the beach that night. When the night came, they drove to Table Rock Beach in Laguna Beach. They then walked down the stairs to a picnic blanket, covered in rose petals and candles. Jacob got down on one knee and asked Hana to be his wife. After Hana said yes, the photographer came over and let her know she had captured the moment.
