Our Wedding

January 12, 2020: The first date we had was in Jake's dorm room to watch a Chiefs playoff game. It was about as romantic as you can imagine on a futon with a flat screen two feet away. We were both decked out in our Chiefs gear and spent the afternoon screaming at a TV, while Jake nervously put his arm around me a couple of times. The game turned out to be one of Mahomes's signature games mounting a huge comeback on the Texans.

How we Met

Fast forward a few years and Jake planned a secret dinner designed to surprise me. We had discussed many times that the engagement was going to be that summer (because we are planning people and had to know before). Jake and his dad came up with a fake dinner where one of his clients, that I met earlier this summer, was going to be in town and wanted to have dinner at the golf club. We got to the dinner first and sat outside on the balcony while Jake's dad was "picking them up from the airport". After 5 minutes, there was a delay on the flight, and 15 minutes later, more delays and reasons they couldn't make it came along. The waiter was in on it all along, and pushed us through dinner. After dinner, it was a "code word" to order dessert. Jake walked me out to the end of the patio by convincing me there was a secret on the golf course you can only see from a certain spot. Then he proposed. After the proposal, it became evident that he had set up drone footage. Then we went inside, and all of our family and friends were waiting to party!

How we got engaged!
