There are just some coincidences that cannot be explained, when a few choices lead two people to an incredible life together. Megan Joyce, returned to her alma mater, Northwestern University, to follow her passion of working with students. Jake Hershman, hadn't been west of Cincinnati, but chose to move to Chicago, IL for school, taking on a new adventure. It was the 21st night of September, 2015... just like that Earth, Wind, and Fire song. Megan was incredibly ambitious and decided to take on an extra class in the Fall; it would end up being her first class as a graduate student. Jake was taking it a bit easier in the program, having already completed a year of school, and had no idea that he was in his first night of his new favorite class. Megan walked into the room, with a nervous excitement about starting school again, but seemed as calm as could be. When Jake saw Megan, he couldn't help but smile and quickly realized this was someone he just had to know. The following week, there was a bit of a hiccup; Megan had brought a young gentleman to the Welcome Party... Jake was not surprised she was in a relationship... and immediately began thinking of ways to steal her heart away from this other man. It took months of in-class discussions, and a long ride together on the L, before Megan blurted out, that her boyfriend, was in fact, her best friend. Jake had to hide his grin. The Husband and Wife to be made it through more adventures; a group ice cream meet-up at Jeni's that Jake had to drag friends to; a homework date at Flirty Cupcakes where they both brought empty backpacks, a nervous walk around Zoolight's when Meg spilled her drink, and finally a Delaware date to Longwood Gardens and Charcoal Pit. They braved long-distance, and flights to and fro, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Gritty streets of Philly. Meg's & Jake's choices led to love. #jakesbestjoyce
