In April of 2021 Meg Hoppert and Jacob Pixley met at their shared place of work, the Newport Fire Department. It wasn’t until three months later that Meg learned her future husband’s first name was Jacob, before that point she’d only heard him referred to as “Pixley.” The two were at odds in the beginning stages of their relationship. However, during Meg’s time spent training for her Fire 1 certification, the two became close friends. Shortly after they began to develop feelings for each other, but it wasn’t until the morning of the 4th of July 2022 that they shared their first kiss. Jacob attended Meg’s Fire 1 graduation and following that event the two became an official couple. They dated for a little over a year before Jacob got down on one knee at the Wells beach jetty, Meg’s favorite spot, and asked her to be his wife. Meg said, “YES!” Now the couple is eagerly awaiting the day they commit themselves to each other forever. Meg and Jacob share a love that will continue to grow alongside them as they begin this next chapter of life. They both truly believe that before they knew each other, God knew them both and it was He who brought them together and blessed them with a relationship that they will be forever thankful for. With God as their rock, Meg and Jacob know they have nothing to worry about in the life ahead of them. Their faith, devotion and love for their Heavenly Father will sustain them through tears and laughter, sorrow and joy, trials, and tribulations. The couple asks for your prayers as they take this next step in their journey together.
