Jacob and Kes began working together in 2013, and a whole lot of mints later they discovered there were so many things they had in common (a love of food, trivia, dogs, and Doctor Who) as well as so many missed connections. But we all know perfect timing happens precisely when it's well...perfect! Jacob asked Kes out, and in true fashion, it took her six months to make up her mind. The rest is a history filled with lots of joy and adventure!

For a couple of months before the proposal, Jacob would absent-mindedly make paper rings when we went out to eat giving away what he had in mind. He managed to keep everything a surprise when we left a family event to walk around the Botanic Gardens. We wandered around until we ended up in a grove near the herb garden. He dropped to one knee, and she said a thousand times, yes! Our parents joined us with flowers and some smuggled in champagne to celebrate!
