June 28, 2018 was our first date. On the car ride down to Krog Street Market, it took us about 2 seconds to feel right at home. We had been friends in undergrad & since had been following each others lives through photos & stories. Over dinner we caught up on what we had missed between the years & as easy as that we were up to speed. We didn't want the date to end, so we walked (over a mile in heels! with no complaints I might add) to New Realm Brewery. In all honesty, it was such a magical night. Full moon, clear skies. We stood on the rooftop, tasting different beers, sharing stories. I think we both knew right then & there that this was it. After the first date, we had a WEEK long date... I think we went on 7 dates in 10 days?! We were instantly inseparable. Bonding over our love for music, travel, family, spontaneity, and passion for life. After our 7th date, Jake moved down to Albany, GA to begin his dental career. We were without each other for about 2 days when I decided to make the trip down to meet his parents (& to see his dads beautiful sunflowers). I think everyone was shocked this was happening so fast... besides the ones who know us best. Jake and I are fast and furious in just about anything - there are no breaks. A few weeks later, he told me he loved me for the first time. I was so relieved when he said it! We have been living a rollercoaster of a life/relationship since then. Back and forth almost every weekend. Traveling to 10+ places in the last year. Moving in together! Having the time of our lives. On March 29, 2019 he brought me down to Rosemary Beach (my favorite place) on a spontaneous beach trip. We immediately went to The Pearl Hotel to "grab a drink" and he brought me outside to the veranda and said: "I love you so much and I want to love you forever. Will you marry me?!" I think I said yes before he could finish. We cannot wait to be Husband & Wife! Jake & I are so looking forward to celebrating with all of you! See you 9/5/2020!
