Jacob and Brittany have known each other and been friends since attending Monocacy Elementary School. However, they did not start seeing one another until Brittany came back to MD in the end of 2019 from her time in college. They started to hang out after seeing one another at a party and have been inseparable since! They officially started dating in January of 2020.

JC had been prepared to ask Brittany when they took a vacation to Lexington, KY in the summer of 2023 but decided on a more intimate setting. The proposal fell on a very good day for Brittany as she had already received some very good news about a college course grade. They were on their way out of the house to go to town for some propane so that they could grill out and celebrate Brittany's grade when JC decided to "ask" her in the driveway of his home. By ask we mean that he pulled out the ring and did not say any words so Brittany asked him if he was asking! When Brittany asked JC if he was nervous, he said "No, I knew you were going to say yes." and they both laughed. Everyone who knows Brittany will say that she is impatient. She actually picked out her own ring the year prior and everyone knew that she was just impatiently waiting to be asked! JC was absolutely right not to be nervous because there is no way that she would have said no!
