Some love stories follow tradition while others write their own timeline—and that’s exactly what makes Bailey and Jake’s story so special. It all started in 2020 with a simple Instagram like. Jake came across one of Bailey’s photos through mutual friends and tapped the heart, setting off a conversation that quickly turned into something more.

A few months and countless messages later, Bailey packed up her life and moved to Jake’s family farm. Although 2020 was the year of covid, Bailey spent most of her time soaking in the farm life tagging along and helping with anything from delivering food to driving a tractor for the first time attempting to bale. “Looking back, it all sounds a little wild,” Bailey laughs. “But I just knew. I wasn’t just falling for him, I was falling for the life we could build together.”

In April of 2021, the couple welcomed their daughter, Navy Rae. Becoming parents was the best part of their journey and still remains as their favorite roles. They got engaged in 2023 down in Arizona on a golf course, one of their favorite activities to do together with the presence of Bailey's brother. They grew their family again with the arrival of their son, Denver Dane in 2024. Jake got his future farm hand and Bailey got her forever best friend. Their story may have gone in reverse order, but Jake and Bailey both agree it was nothing short of a blessing.

Now, they’re preparing for their wedding in Jake’s hometown—the very place they’ve built their life together. “We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else,” Jake shares. “It’s home. It’s where our kids will grow up. It’s where we’ve shared the best moments of our lives.”

Bailey, known for her warmth and unwavering dedication, pours her heart into their family every single day. “She gives everything she has to our kids and our home,” Jake says. “Watching her be a mom made me love her even more.” And for Bailey, one of the first things that made her fall for Jake was his steady, grounded work ethic. “He’s the kind of man who works hard without needing recognition,” she says. “He’s up before the sun, doing chores and providing for our family. And somehow, he still makes time to make us all laugh.”

Their upcoming wedding will be a true reflection of their journey- laid-back, deeply personal, and full of heart. Surrounded by the people who’ve been there through every chapter, Bailey and Jake are ready to officially say “I do" on July 19th, right where it all began.
