Our Story

The Beginning

Travis and Jillian first met during Jillian's freshman year at Otterbein. Travis was a senior in high school and was on campus visiting as a football recruit. They met in the romantic location of the Zeta frat house basement during a party. That was surprisingly their first and only encounter prior to Jillian transferring after her sophomore year. Life had a funny way of bringing them back together with the help of (you guessed it) social media. Jillian "liked" one of Travis' Facebook photos and Travis friend requested her on Instagram shortly after. Travis was waiting and planning his clever slide into her Instagram DMs.. but Jillian didn't have time to waste. Once Travis accepted the follow request, Jillian slid into his DMs with a simple "Hey there! It's been a while.. How are you?". A few days later they went on their first date. It's cliche to say, but they both realized on their first date that they had found something in each other that they hadn't felt before. They both knew this had the potential to be something really special. Little did they know that they had just gone on a first date with their forever partner. Eight months later, Travis had "the talk" with Jillian's dad and asked him for his blessing and her hand in marriage. Six months after that came the perfect proposal on the beach. Jillian and Travis cannot wait to add to their love story with their favorite family and friends!
