Jake and Lara met at a party that their friend Faith invited her to at Northern Michigan University. Jake caught Lara's eye and told Faith, who mentioned that it was his birthday. Later that night, Lara and Jake struck up a conversation and realized they were both from Grand Rapids. After Lara stepped out to drop off a friend, Faith let Jake know that Lara thought he was cute. When Lara returned, they continued talking and hit it off right away. That night, they spent more time together, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. The following May, Lara signed a lease with Faith to live in the same house where they met & now, Faith is officiating their wedding! The butterfly effect is real!
