Hello and welcome to everyone reading through our relationship timeline! To start, one of our first dates was at a drive-in movie theater (after we met on Hinge months earlier)!

Jacob had never been to NYC so I had to plan a whole touristy day for him. We walked around central park, got a New York slice, went to Rockefeller Center, and got cupcakes from Magnolia's Bakery!

Our first Disney trip was back in 2021, and you probably could guess this but, it wound up being the first of many!

When we were in Pittsburgh a few years ago, Jacob planned a beautiful day for us at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. I (Ava) was extra excited because there happened to be a limited time Monet exhibit.

We love to go out for dinner and drinks - this time we were with Jacob's family in North Carolina.

In 2023, our adventures really ramped up, including my family's vacation where we went tubing in Arizona's salt river...

visited the Grand Canyon...

and experienced Disneyland for the first time!

But the adventures didn't stop on the West coast; we closed out the year with our first cruise together. Please enjoy this grainy picture of us after we jumped off waterfalls in the Dominican Republic!

Surprise surprise! We went to Disney again!

Jacob talked me into two Phillies games in one year! And! He got me to wear his old Phillies hat. (#goyankees!)

We got engaged! I'm sure most of you have heard the whole story, but after designing my dream ring, he planned to propose in these beautiful gardens, with my best friend being our photographer :)

And the cherry on top of the most perfect day? My family was waiting to celebrate with us at my favorite hometown restaurant.

Since then, we've been loving to use the word "Fiancé" and went on our first Disney cruise with Jacob's family.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading and we can't wait to clink some drinks together with all of you in September! For now, a virtual "Cheers!" from us drinking around the world in EPCOT to everyone who actually made it to the end of this long timeline. We love you :)
