Back in the late summer of 2015, when Jacob and Amber were just 15-year-old high school sophomores, fate intervened through their mutual friend Robby, who introduced them. Jacob took the leap and officially asked Amber to be his girlfriend on September 30th, catching her before she headed off to dance practice. Despite attending different schools and having packed schedules—Jacob excelling on the baseball field while Amber poured her heart into dance—they made every effort to spend time together. Their first anniversary was marked by a heartfelt gesture from Jacob: a promise ring, symbolizing their commitment amidst the chaos of teenage life. Through the years, they navigated the ups and downs of life together, leaning on each other for support. In 2022, they decided to take the next step and moved into their first apartment, creating a cozy haven where they could build their life together. Then came a pivotal moment during a family vacation in Topsail in June 2023. After a day of making memories with Amber's family celebrating her Pop Pops 90th birthday, Jacob seized the perfect moment against the backdrop of the ocean to ask Amber to marry him, making their vacation even more unforgettable. The Outer Banks has always held a special place in their hearts, having spent countless summers there with Amber's family. Its no surprise that they chose this beloved destination as the backdrop for their wedding, surrounded by the people who have supported and loved them throughout their journey. As they prepare to embark on this new chapter together, Jacob and Amber are filled with excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. With love, laughter, and cherished memories of their journey so far, they eagerly anticipate saying I do in their favorite place on earth.
