We met in 2017 on UAB’s campus near “The Den” (literally just a Denny’s.) The encounter was brief, but not forgotten. Fast forward to January of 2019 and our friends had two plans: 1. Host a birthday party, 2. Set us up at said birthday party. It wasn’t a difficult task, we instantly clicked, but not everyone got the memo (iykyk.) We exchanged numbers and the rest is history! In May of 2021, Jake got the opportunity of his dreams: to work full-time as a healthcare union organizer. The only catch? This opportunity happened to be 800 miles away in Pennsylvania. Together, we took the leap and we couldn’t be happier! In November of 2023, Jake surprised me with a trip to Romolo’s chocolates, a local chocolatier, and a stroll through the arboretum where he got down on one knee and proposed. This brings us to where we are today! Now, it's time to begin yet another chapter in our story. We are so excited to be wed in Shelby, Alabama, just an hour south of where our story began, with family and friends coming from far and wide to celebrate our love. We want to thank everyone in advance for making the trip to be with us on this very special day, and for all your love and support all these years. We hope you have a wonderful time and can't wait to dance the night away with you!
