In Towson, Maryland, Jake and Emma's love story started at a high school homecoming dance in 2017, thanks to their friends Kyrle and Kaitlyn (who are in the bridal party!). Despite going to colleges 10 hours and 629 miles apart, they decided to give long-distance a shot. Over four years of late-night calls, visits, and growing independently, their love not only survived but thrived. Finally, with degrees in hand, Jake and Emma closed the distance. On October 11, 2025, surrounded by friends and family, they will exchange vows. And so, Jake and Emma's love story, which began with a simple high school dance and endured the trials of time and distance, blossomed into a beautiful tale of commitment, growth, and forever.
