In September 2021 we met online. A few messages were exchanged and we were eager to learn more about each other so we met up for dinner at Ted's in Harrisburg, PA. Soon after we sat down, we learned that we had a lot more in common than either of us could have imagined. Not only did we have a very similar upbringing paired with many common interests, but we quickly learned that our families already had known each other for years. Jake's grandfather, Jim Dooley, was a mentor to Victoria's father, throughout his coaching career. To this day, we continue to discover new mutual connections and ways that our paths could have crossed before they did. Since that day in September 2021 we have been inseparable. With the support of family and friends our relationship has continued to grow and we are looking forward to saying "I do" on August 30, 2024!
