Wedding Day

Our Wedding

BRENNA AND JAKE MET IN 2014 WHERE ALL GREAT LOVE STORIES BEGIN: SOUTH ALLEGHENY HIGH SCHOOL! THERE WERE MANY WALKS AROUND THE HALLWAYS DURING CLASS, MOVIE DATES, AND DINNERS AT TGI FRIDAYS AS THEY GOT TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER. JAKE ASKED BRENNA TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND IN THE BASEMENT OF HER CHILDHOOD HOME, AND THEY SHARED THEIR FIRST KISS ON HER FRONT PORCH. THEY PURCHASED THEIR FIRST HOME TOGETHER IN 2022, WHERE THEY LIVE WITH THEIR DOG GOOSE AND CATS MAGGIE, SLINKY, AND BEAM. JAKE ASKED BRENNA TO MARRY HIM ON AUGUST 9TH, 2024 IN HARBOR TOWN ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, WHICH IS WHERE THEY TOOK THEIR FIRST VACATION TOGETHER IN 2016.
