Our Wedding

In true Gen Z fashion, we first met on the internet. Although the initial interaction was brief, our connection sparked from a mutual friend Chloe Blake. I was playing softball at Penn State where Chloe assisted as a student manager. Chloe and I were chatting about a connection whose name was Jake M. Turns out, that Chloe and Jake both graduated from Moshannon Valley High School and were long-time friends. From there, Chloe took the initiative to have us meet for our first date. Our first date landed us at Champs Downtown followed by Bill Pickles Tap Room at Penn State. At Champs, we had an instant connection where we realized our similarities in competitive nature with a game of pool. After a few dates and relating to one another’s interests in sports, family, and love for a Chipotle bowl, Jake officially asked me to be his girlfriend in April of 2022. From there, we spent the summer exploring new places and going to a handful of country concerts, including our favorite artist, Morgan Wallen. When summer concluded I went into my 5th year at Penn State while Jake moved to Pittsburgh to start his accounting career. We spent almost a year doing long distance which made the connection stronger. Once graduating, we moved into our first apartment in Shadyside, PA. We have spent the last few years living together while exploring Pittsburgh eateries, attractions, and sporting events. After Christmas 2024 we took a trip to Penn State. Jake asked to go to The Arboretum and walk around. As we made our way through the arboretum, we stopped in an isolated area and Jake got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Fast forward to fall 2025, we both got new jobs in State College & began our house hunt. Shortly after the move, we found our first home and moved in just in time for Christmas! We are so excited to start our lives in Houtzdale, Jake’s hometown! We can’t wait for house DIYs and building a family together in our new home! And to think it all started with a swipe right?!
