We met through mutual friends when we were in 7th grade! For the next three years, we regularly hung out with a large group of friends and eventually formed our own close friendship. During the first two years of high school, we considered ourselves best friends and attended every high school dance together but "just as friends". (However, Lily secretly liked Jacob during this time). There was always something special about our bond and we remained close friends from freshman to sophomore year of high school. The summer before our junior year of high school Jacob asked Lily to be his girlfriend on the 4th of July under the fireworks! We dated for the next six years, through the rest of high school and into college! On June 20th, 2021 Jacob proposed to Lily at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. The answer was of course - YES! We are so excited about our dream wedding in Bass Lake and cannot wait to finally be husband and wife.
