So Jake and I weren’t complete strangers before we started dating, we had been around each other before, had mutual friends, and I had helped him make some serious fashion decisions before when I worked at Davids haha. So it really all began when I just moved in with Vince and Emily, my junior year of college, and they had mentioned Jake’s name to me and it must have been fate because the next day he messaged me. Em invited Jake over for dinner one night that week and the following weekend he came over again for a game night at the house and we have been pretty much inseperable ever since!!
We were going to Savannah for the weekend to celebrate Jake’s birthday with Cass and Kaley. We went by the hotel to change and then decided to go ahead and walk downtown to wait for them to get there since they left town after us. Jake had me walking up and down the river like crazy “looking for Cass and Kaley.” Little did I know he was trying to find all of our favorite people that came to see him propose!! I saw Mary Ann peeking around the corner and turned to Jake to tell him and he gets down on one knee and asks me to spend the rest of forever with him!! Then I turn around and realize there is a whole lot more people than just Mary Ann that I know! I was SHOCKED!!! I asked all my girlfriends to come with us for the weekend and they said they had plans and my mom and dad were supposed to be in Jacksonville! It meant so much having everyone there to celebrate our engagement with us. I couldnt think of a better or more special way he could have asked me to marry him!!
