We're getting married!

In the beginning there was nothing, and then there was light and dark and oceans and birds and stuff and then there was Jake and Jessie! Our star-crossed lovers had crossed paths throughout our lives, unknowingly, from childhood birthday parties, to trips to similar destinations in northern Michigan, to Jessie living in the Jungle and Jake visiting friends there throughout Jessie's freshman year. By a stroke of luck, Jake in his endless indecisiveness in what he wanted to do with his future, thought that he wanted to become an Occupational Therapist. That semester, Jake and Jessie started the class strangers, with Jessie sitting in front of Jake and the two barely talking. Jake had caught Jessie's eye, likely due to his extremely form fitting and attractive green pants, and Jessie was hooked. She was discouraged due to her incorrect assumptions of Jake's current relationship status, but little did she know Jake was flying solo at the time, and she had also caught his eye. Throughout the rest of the semester, the two were shy but tried to start little conversations with each other, which eventually lead to a friendship forming. One day, when Jake was walking into the science building to head to the library with some friends, Jessie happened to be having a coffee date with a friend when she saw him. Out of nowhere, Jessie blurted out "HEY!" at the top of her lungs. Embarrassed, she told her friend that she had no idea what got into her, and she thought he had not noticed her. Jake on the other hand, attempted to wave back but thought that she had not seen his attempt to reply. He stopped, took a deep breath, and worked up the courage to go back and ask her on a study date, and their epic love story began!

Jake planned a date to Snowfest in Frankenmuth. It was freezing cold, but Jake insisted they stay for the fireworks. During the grand finale, he looked deep into her eyes, and asked her if she would be his girlfriend! With a passionate kiss to seal the deal, the lovely new couple officially started dating.

In the middle of a worldwide pandemic, our star-crossed lovers took a mini vacation to Florida. With a little persuasion and some intricate planning, Jake had devised the most glorious plan to take Jessie to Disney World. She did not remember, but very early on in their relationship, she had mentioned to Jake that she wanted to either get engaged, get married, or honeymoon in Disney. Jake, and his impressive memory, held this information for years until the time was right and the stars aligned. On the first day, our lovers drank around the world in the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow, or EPCOT for short, and enjoyed a day of laughter, and for Jake, many nerves. The next morning, they traveled to the magical world of Magic Kingdom, where with sweaty hands and trembling legs, Jake got down on one knee right in front of Cinderella's Castle and before he could utter any words, Jessie lunged towards him for a kiss (though they had to keep their masks on), sealing their fate and the rest is history! P.S. eventually there were words exchanged where he "asks" and she says "yes", making it extremely official.
