Jake and Kaitlyn crossed paths in 2010 while they were at Grand Valley High School as a sophomore and freshman, and Jake had a crush instantly. Unfortunately for both of them, it would be a few years before he was able to get his chance with Kaitlyn when he was a senior and she was a junior. A mutual friend told Kaitlyn to give Jake a chance, she listened, and the rest is history. They spent years growing up with each other, being young and making the best memories, while enjoying their relationship as it developed deeper over the years and their experiences. They knew it would always be each other for them, and were in no rush. Jake has now asked Kaitlyn to marry him and she, of course, said yes!
