Annamarie and Jake met while in class together during their senior year at DePaul University. They became fast friends who shared many interests, experiences, and tons of laughs.

Annamarie would visit home and frequently tell her mom, Mary, about "this guy" she had met in class and all of their fun adventures together. Mary recognized her excitement and encouraged Annamarie to spend more time with Jake, ultimately providing her reassurance and support.

With graduation quickly approaching, Jake made sure to win Annamarie over with his confidence, kindness, and persistence - solidifying their relationship status. Things quickly took off and the rest is history!

Jake and Annamarie now live together in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Chicago. They enjoy trying new restaurants, going to concerts, and spending time with friends and family which is very important to the two of them.

Jake and Annamarie cannot wait to tie the knot and celebrate with their loved ones all in one place!
