Mr. & Mrs. Glaser... coming 2024!

Our Wedding

Our story starts at The Bar East in Green Bay, WI. One summer night, we just so happened to be standing next to each other, outside, next to a campfire, at The Bar East when Jake noticed me, as he was standing next to his best friend, Omar. With Jake's long, curly locks at the time, I didn't even recognize him from high school (we both attended Preble). It wasn't until the next day that Jake had followed me on Instagram. Now, dating back to high school, I had the BIGGEST crush on Jake Glaser, as my friends and I would giggle and drool down the halls of Preble while the tall and handsome, Jake Glaser would walk by. As soon as Jake followed me on Instagram, I thought, "Holy sh*t, he knows who I am," (because he was two grades above me) and I freaked out with a burst of excitement and a huge smile on my face knowing that my high school crush just followed me. I instantly followed him back and after a few hours I built up the courage to go and like one of his pictures, just to stir the pot! (Talk about the classy era of digital flirting, lol) Shortly after that, I got a message from Jake...it said, "Uh oh." And yes ladies, he slid into my DMs. Anyways, after receiving such an odd remark, I replied, "What's uh oh?" thinking that something was wrong, or honestly, I had no idea what was about to come next!? So, Jake replies, trying to be slick and says, "I'm trying to find a good bar to go to, have you been to The Bar East lately?" Then I, not thinking anything besides being there last night with my friends said, "I was there last night actually!" Jake replies, "I know I was just being dumb, I definitely noticed you" and because I didn't notice him, I said, " Where?! Why didn't you say hi!" And after that, we continued to message each other, which eventually lead to Jake giving me his number -- AHH! Next, a few days go by and we had been texting each other wanting to meet up for the first time. I had invited Jake and his friends to show up to the classic and well-known bar around Green Bay, The Sardine Can. Jake had told me he had never been to this bar, so I thought it was the perfect place to laugh, have some drinks and for both of us to break the ice on our first date with friends...right? Sure! All I know is it clearly worked because that's where we had our first kiss. Then, Jake invited me over for a fire at his place afterwards -- just us two. After having some good conversation around the fire getting to know one another, and the way we would look at each other, something just felt different (in a good way). After that night, I could tell that we both wanted to see each other again. We were magnetized -- love struck. I truly believe we have a love like no other...it's kind, gentle, patient, understanding, romantic, goofy, wild, and best of all, we knew our souls were meant for each other right away. We still to this day, say the exact same things at the same exact time, and you cannot tell me, that that's not a good sign. This happened during the first two weeks of dating too. All in all, we moved pretty quickly, but that's because we knew that we both wanted one another for the rest of our lives and still cannot even fathom the thought of life without the other. Even after months of getting to know one another, it turns out that we went to elementary (McAuliffe), middle (Edison), and high school (Preble) together AND growing up we lived two blocks away from each other AND I was babysat by his friend's family that he would hang out with all the time, so it's highly likely we hung out and played yard games with each other when we were little too. We started dating June 14, 2021, officially bought our first house, December 17, 2021, got engaged on Valentine's Day on February 14, 2022, and now have our first fur baby, Charlie, since August 2022, and the rest of the story, well, that's to be continued...
