Our Wedding

The story of how it all began! 

Aliyah and Jake first crossed paths during Aliyah's sophomore year and Jake's senior year in high school, a chance encounter that quickly (emphasis on quickly!) grew into a deep connection. As Jake’s graduation approached, they faced the reality of a long-distance relationship that would last many, MANY years. The road was anything but easy—filled with late-night calls, missed events, and countless moments of wishing they were together. Yet, through it all, they stood by each other's side, becoming each other's biggest supporters. Now, after years of commitment and perseverance, these high school sweethearts are ready to get married, YAY! Let's reminisce on the big milestones the two have shared throughout the past 8 years together!
