We met the classic way... through online dating! We found each other on Hinge and connected right away. Our first date was at Cascades in Puyallup. Alicia knew Jake was a great guy when she let him know that if she can't find parking she will go home, and Jake responded by sending her the location of a parking lot. Our second date was a little more adventurous. It started off with Kayaking on a lake and ended the day with Alicia receiving several worried calls from her sister thinking she had been drowned in the middle of the lake by a stranger she met online. Obviously that wasn't the case! We had a good laugh about it and it was one of our more memorable dates. In December 2023, Jake asked Alicia to marry him and she said Yes! Since we loved each other so much and wanted to be married already, it was a quick engagement. On March 16, 2024 we had a small back yard wedding at Alicia's moms house. We kept it small because we knew we would have a larger wedding later. We are excited to have all of the traditional wedding things and to be able to celebrate with all of you. Thank you for joining us in this celebration!
