Every love story has a beginning, and ours started with a “like.” Literally. We went to the same high school but never really crossed paths. That changed when Jake liked one of Karen’s photos online. A message followed, then a few more, and before we knew it, we were talking every day, sharing jokes, stories, and slowly getting to know each other. Soon after, we made it official! From there, our story kept unfolding. We both attended the University of Arizona (Bear Down!), where we made even more memories, studying, partying, and cheering each other on through it all. After college, we moved to Chandler, Arizona, and started building our life together. We learned new life skills and Googled our way through the wild world of adulting and living on our own. Since then, it’s been one adventure after another: navigating new jobs, turning houses into homes, seeing our favorite performers live, attending several Suns games (even in heartbreak), watching every scary move Jake can think of, and trying plenty of new food spots we’ve discovered along the way. Through every stage, we’ve been there for each other, learning, laughing, and navigating life side by side. Now, after all these years, we’re ready for our biggest adventure yet. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people who’ve been with us through it all.
