We’re finally getting married!

They say the people who are meant to be in your life will always gravitate back towards you, no matter how far they wander. 23 years later, here we are...❤️ Jake and Dominique both joined Stars & Stripes in the 5th grade. They connected on a group trip to Washington D.C. when Jake nearly drowned in a wave pool. Dominique and a couple of their peers ended up saving him. They developed a friendship the remainder of the trip. On the way home, Jake worked his way all the way down the alphabet to Dominique’s bus. His plan was successful, when Dominique asked to share his CD player on the ride. Although they attended different schools, they would see each other in passing throughout the years. In 2014, Dominique and Jake reconnected. It’s been one for the books ever since.
