Soon to Be Mr. & Mrs Novak...

We met in early 2016. A friend of the Jackie's(Ryan) happened to live across the hallway from the Gary's cousin(Matt). One night, while the Jackie was attending a get-together at Ryan's apartment, Gary and Matt, happened to hear the noise, and came knocking upon Ryan's door, asking to join on the fun! They were warmly welcomed inside. Throughout the night, we got the chance to talk and get to know each other quite a bit. Before the night was over, we had exchanged phone numbers and planned on hanging out sometime soon!

These plans most definitely held up. We spent quite of a bit of time together, from than on. Continuing all the way through the summer, getting to know each other increasingly well, a solid and extremely close friendship was established rather quickly.

After the summer, and into the fall, still growing in closeness, our close friendship transitioned into something even more! Feelings rapidly progressed, and finally on October 15, 2016, and we made our relationship official! Since this date, feelings continued to develop, and became a genuine LOVE! Every day since, we have grown deeper in love with each other, and developed a bond in which neither of us had experienced before. This LOVE, BOND, and of course, FRIENDSHIP, is something that neither of us ever have, nor ever will, take for granted, and know will never stop in continuing to grow even more with each day!

On November 23rd, 2018, while relaxing in the living room together, just enjoying each other company, like we do on so many countless, cherished nights, Gary tapped Jackie on the shoulder, quietly. Without looking, Jackie asked "What?". Gary tapped again, and got the same response. Finally, the third time, Jackie finally turned around to see Gary with a ring and sparkle in his eye. "Will You Marry Me?", he asked. After a few seconds of silence due to the huge surprise, Jackie smiled and replied "Yes", happily! Gary smiled as he slid the ring on her finger and the couple hugged with happiness, excitement. and of course, LOVE. And we became officially engaged!

In February of 2019, we chose our wedding date... July 27th, 2019! We highly look forward to be able to call each other husband and wife. We are also grateful that God gave us each other, because we fit perfectly! We are soulmates and best friends at the same time! We have fun together and are able to feel 100% comfortable around each other. Believe us when we tell you... It is an AMAZING feeling to be able to fall in love and get to live with someone whom you are in a committed, loving, relationship with, and who you can ALSO honestly call your BEST FRIEND. Our relationship includes mutual trust, respect, fun, love, snuggles, and of course, loyalty! When you know who you wanna spend the rest of your life with, than you just know. And we do! No doubts on either side! We both look forward to our wedding this summer, and getting to have our family and friends all witness us exchanging vows, and taking this huge next step in our lives together! In addition to the wedding, we even more so, look forward to being able to spend the rest of our lives together, and feel blessed to have found each other! We wouldn't wanna have it any other way...❤
