Thanks to an unplanned introduction by Jake's sister, Abby, we first met at an exclusive, upscale country concert called WeFest before Jake's freshman year at Gustavus. If you've ever been to WeFest, you know that only 18-21 year-olds can survive under those conditions, let alone meet the person they end up marrying one day. Jake did not shower once in the four days we spent outdoors in 90-degree heat, and Annie somehow still liked him. While neither of us had plans to have a long-distance relationship during our early college years, we couldn't find a way stay out of touch. We eventually made it 'official' in February 2015. The next 6+ years consisted of us visiting each other at Gustavus/St. Ben's, starting our corporate careers, moving in with friends and eventually together, adding Reggie to our little family, and Annie saying 'yes' to forever on August 14, 2021. It's been a whirlwind these last few years. Thank you to everyone who has provided us with endless amounts of love and support. We can't wait to become husband and wife in just a few months and celebrate with all of our favorite people! xo, J&A
