We invite you to join us in the Alaskan summer, where the sun lingers in the sky and our love begins a lifelong journey.

From Louisiana to Alaska, and from New York to Alaska — somehow, fate brought them together. Though they came from opposite corners of the country, their paths crossed in the most unexpected way. In December 2021, Janci planned a trip home to visit her family. But a twist of fate had other plans — she ended up in a ditch on her way to the airport, which led to a canceled trip and an unexpected stay in town. It was during that unexpected downtime that she decided to try the Hinge dating app. That decision changed everything. They matched quickly, and what stood out to Janci was all the green flags she saw in Jacob’s profile. Jacob, on the other hand, loved that Janci noticed and mentioned those green flags right away — even before she saw a single photo of him. They messaged for a few weeks, getting to know each other through words, until they finally agreed to meet in person. Their first meeting was on Christmas Eve. They chose a small, cozy café after work. The moment Janci stepped out of her car, Jacob was struck by her radiant smile and beautiful presence. As carolers sang nearby, Jacob did most of the talking — Janci was quiet and shy. Jacob worried she wasn’t interested, but her reassurances afterward told him otherwise. That night became the start of something special, and ever since, Christmas has held a deeper meaning for both of them. By the fourth date — New Year’s Eve — everything became official. They shared drinks, watched the fireworks, and on the way home, Janci asked Jacob to stop the truck right at midnight. There, under the stars, they shared the first kiss. The next day, Jacob asked Janci to be his girlfriend. She didn’t say yes right away — not because she didn’t want to, but because it felt too good to be true. But deep down, she knew. So of course, she said yes. The rest is history. "From the One who gives life, we draw breath and love. In His everlasting light, we see the path clearly — to each other, to forever, to joy that does not fade."
