The Reception

Our Wedding

Abigail and Jacob's love story began when they met during their final year of high school, at a scholarship interview. Jacob was wearing a navy suit and little did he know he was about to set the color scheme for their future wedding. Abigail made a mental note of his name, eager to follow him on social media after the interview.&nbsp; Jacob followed Abigail back on Instagram and added her on Snapchat. Abigail made the first move, by messaging him and congratulating him on winning the scholarship. Their first date was a whirlwind of laughter and easy conversation, setting the stage for a journey of shared dreams and endless talks. Officially becoming a couple on May 31, 2021, marked the beginning of a beautiful chapter, and it was only fitting that they chose the same date four years later for their wedding day. College life at Louisiana Tech University only deepened their bond, filled with football games, Phi Mu formals, and cherished moments with newfound friends who would become like family. In December 2023, at Lincoln Parish Park, where they often went “to see the ducks”, Jacob took Abigail's hand and asked her if she would marry him. It was a moment reminiscent of their parents' own holiday engagements, weaving their love story into the timeless fabric of romance.
