Although we officially met in 2022, our story began many years before that. We had undoubtedly crossed paths many times in the hallways of our middle school and high school. During that time, Jake attended some of the choir concerts, musical performances, and sailing practices that Emily was involved in, but he was there to support his brothers; he had no idea that his future wife was just a glance away.

For Jake's second year, we began renting our first apartment together. This is where Jake proposed in February 2024! We are super excited to start our next chapter together this fall in North Jersey and are thrilled to be spending the rest of our lives together.
