Jacob and Katelynn’s story began at the Belmont Mansion apartments, where they were both struggling twenty-year-old students living in the smallest, most affordable apartments they could find. Their apartments shared a wall, and they met one night at a gathering of downstairs residents. From that moment on, they became close friends, supporting each other through the challenges of city life and single living. They were there for each other through ups and downs for over a year, until one day they were in a car accident together (which, by the way, was neither of their fault!). They like to joke that they "trauma bonded," but it was during that difficult time that Katelynn realized how special Jacob was. Even though he was perfectly fine, he stayed with her for the entire 8-hour hospital wait. He never left her side, and in that moment, she knew he was the one. Though their transition from friends to dating seemed sudden, it also felt entirely natural. Since then, they’ve been inseparable. Now, three years later, they’re ready to tie the knot and spend the rest of their lives together. What better way to celebrate than surrounded by their amazing friends and family!
