Marie is the most beautiful, caring, and loving person anyone could know. Everyone who already knows Marie knows how thoughtful and amazing she is. She can make anyone laugh, and she brightens up every room she walks into. Marie has been my best friend for the past 4 years and I couldn't imagine my life without her. She is truly one of a kind and I feel so lucky to be able to marry her. - Jacob
When I was younger, someone told me that, someday, when I found "the one", I should put his name into 1 Corinthians 13. "Love is patient, love is kind". Jacob is patient, and kind, and so much more. He is my best friend is the world. Jacob is loving, and compassionate, and hilarious. He is a wonderful friend, a dedicated partner, a hardworking nurse, and an amazing dad to our dog, Cheddar. Jacob makes every day more fun, and I am so excited to be his wife. - Marie
Marie loves surprises. Jacob hates them. For someone who doesn't love surprises, though, he did an amazing job surprising Marie with a proposal! Jacob got our entire families in on the action. His sisters helped him convince Marie that we were taking family photos in Hollis Gardens in Lakeland. We got all dressed up, ready for what Marie thought would be a fun family event. Then surrounded by nature, in the pouring rain, Jacob asked Marie to marry him. After an easy "yes" (and lots of happy tears), we went out to dinner, where both Jacob's and Marie's family were waiting for a surprise celebration! It was an amazing day that we'll remember forever.
We are so, so excited to be tying the knot on October 21st, 2023. It will be so incredible to start off the rest of our lives, surrounded by the amazing people that have built us. We are so thankful to be celebrating with you!
