In 2014, Jake and I were attending a bonfire at the best man's house (Jp). We both were dating other people at the time, and I was introduced to everyone there as I had never met these people before. A year and some months later, after we both moved on from those significant others, we started messaging each other on Facebook. That began our journey to where we are today! We never stopped talking. Our first time hanging out was at his house in Churchville on Friday, September 25, 2015! We played beer pong with some of his friends, and I kept accidentally hitting his car with the ball. He had a Mazdaspeed 3 (a really fast car he worked so hard on) and I knew when he didn't kick me out, it was meant to be! We officially started our relationship on October 26, 2015. We navigated through the trials and tribulations, ups and downs, disagreements, arguments, and came out stronger than ever after each one! We bought our first house June 2020. What a time to buy! Prime COVID, nothing open, barely found furniture for us to put in the living room. It was quite the experience! From there, we really worked together to live our best life on our own! September 11, 2021, we were on a camping trip with Jp and Amber (matron of honor) in VA. It was so beautiful, so peaceful, and so much fun! Little did I know Jake was going to pop the question!! Of course I ecstatically said yes through eyes full of happy tears! I never thought I would get married, let alone to an amazing, caring, humble man! Jake is the best partner I ever could've asked for! Here's to the future of Mr. & Mrs. Jacob W. Dudeck
