We met in Slippery Rock at a game night planned by Victoria and Jimmy with the help of Josh Miller. Victoria invited Olivia to come and meet Jimmy's roommate Jake. The couples would go on to enjoy an evening of competitive spirits, good food, and laughter. The rest is history! Thank you, Victoria and Jimmy, for planning the beginning of this love story.
It began with Olivia planning a surprise trip for Jake's birthday. The plan took some espionage and a convincing story about visiting Canada in the future. She obtained their passports and booked the flight without Jake suspecting a thing! The night before they left on their trip, she revealed to Jake the whole trip was a lie! They would not be visiting his family's lakehouse; they were going on a cruise for his birthday! (What she didn't know was the secret plan in motion...) On the second day of the cruise the couple was swimming with sharks, and that's when Jake decided to take the biggest risk of all. On the beaches of the Bahamas, Jake dropped to one knee and proposed to Olivia. She responded with every man's dream response: "Is this real?". After Jake reassured her that it was real she ecstatically accepted his proposal!
