We’re Getting Married!!

It all started back in 2019, when fate—and a little help from a mutual friend—brought us together. Jake was on a mission to find "the one," and as luck would have it, that search led him straight to Jill. Their first date was at a cozy Japanese restaurant, where they quickly realized just how much they had in common—especially when it came to their families and upbringing. From that moment on, they were inseparable. As their love grew, so did their journey together. When Jake graduated and began looking for a school to pursue weightlifting, Jill made a bold and spontaneous decision: “Screw it, why don’t I go with you?” So in the summer of 2021, they packed up and moved to Johnson City, Tennessee. Though they lived apart for the first two years, their bond only grew stronger. In the summer of 2023, Jill welcomed a new member into their little family—a lovable pitbull named Juice. Less than a year later, she and Jake took the next big step and got their first apartment together, making their home (and hearts) feel truly complete. Then came December of 2024—Jake, ever the gentleman, took Jill’s parents out to dinner to ask for their blessing. They couldn’t have been more thrilled. And on October 7, 2024, during what was supposed to be a simple five-year anniversary celebration, Jake got down on one knee and asked Jill to spend forever with him. Now, they can’t wait to make it official and celebrate the start of their next chapter—together, forever!
