Our Story

Brooke and Jeffrey met on the first day of 6th grade at The King's Academy, however, neither of them knew they would spend forever together or even thought to be friends. Fast forward to senior year of high school, Jeffrey made a last-minute decision to ask Brooke to the Winter formal dance and thankfully, she said yes. Afterwards, they started hanging out and getting to know each other right before parting for college. Over four years of long-distance dating (a first and last dating relationship for both) Jeffrey and Brooke built their foundation as best friends and eventually fell in love. On our fifth yearly day-after-Thanksgiving trip to Yosemite Jeffrey asked Brooke to marry him and she said yes!
