We met through mutual friends during our junior year in high school. We didn't talk much until our senior year at a kick off the school year party. We talked all night, it was like we were really meeting each other for the first time. We'd promised each other that after that night we'd be best friends forever. Little did we know at 17, we'd make it through long distance for all 4 years of college and 5 years later would be saying "I do".
Concerts have always been our thing. Our favorite is attending a good ole country concert. There's nothing like some good country music on a warm summer night. We were attending a Cody Johnson concert in Loveland, CO. We were chilling out, having a good time with friends and dancing the night away. I remember during the last song (With You I Am), Jake (one of Jimmy's best friends) pulled out his phone and started recording. I thought nothing of it, so I just started being silly for the camera. Jimmy starts whispering in my ear and all of sudden his down on one knee. I remember being in shock and in utter tears. I said YES, of course! Afterwards the people around us came up to us and congratulated us. One man even asked to give us a blessing, which was so special. Overall, the night was completely magical and I feel so lucky to be marrying the man of my dreams! -Rachel
