We met through mutual friends the first weekend of our freshman year at Radford University. He was shy but still made the effort to introduce himself to me which started a wonderful friendship that would soon turn into much more than we could ever imagine. (Kirstens Words) We met at Radford University the very first weekend we were there. I saw her from a distance and immediately noticed how beautiful she was. I went up to talk to her not even thinking for a second that she would become my wife. That was the start of a great friendship that would become an even better relationship. (Jacobs Words)

At this point in our friendship Jacob knew what he wanted but I was hesitant and not because of the reason you would think. I saw so much good in him and I was confused on how such a wonderful person could like me, but with his warm heart, beautiful eyes, charming smile, and handsomely good looks Jacob thought he had won me, but in reality I had won him. (Kirstens Words) After being friends for almost a full semester I knew that Kirsten was someone that I wanted to have as more than just a friend. I told her how I felt about her and she was hesitant at first but I knew she felt something too. I talked to my mom and she told me, if you really feel the way you do about her, don't stop trying. So, I kept pursuing her until, eventually I won her over. I will never forget the joy in my heart and the smile on my face when she gave me a shot, and became mine. (Jacobs Words)

A little over a year later and their love blossoming at the seams. Jacob knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Kirsten. After picking out the ring, talking to his parents, and getting Kirsten's parents blessing all he had left to do was to plan the perfect proposal. Jacob thought long and hard about the perfect way to ask Kirsten to spend the rest of her life with him. He knew she always loved being the center of attention, but soon realized the perfect way to ask Kirsten was to have her family there. So, Jacob arranged for his parents to come see one of Kirstens performances at Radford University and made sure Kirsten's family was there too. After the show, when Kirsten came out to hug everyone, talk, and take pictures...it was finally Jacob's turn to take his picture with the love of his life. He started off by telling Kirsten how in love he was with her and how proud he was, even though neither of them remember pretty much anything Jacob said, he got down on one knee in front of his family, her family, and some of her friends to ask if she would be his forever.
