Jake and Finnley met on August 27th, 2022 at their dear friend's engagement party! The two hit it off and connected over camp, chacos, love for nature, and faith. After several more "coincidental" meet-ups (orchestrated by dedicated friends), walks in the woods, backcountry cooking dates, and a weekend with friends at the Santis' camp in the Allegheny National Forest, Jake and Finnley officially started dating on October 9th! Since then, the pair have cooked many more dinners over campfires, planted 2 apple trees, seen 60 shooting stars in 1 night, spent many evenings at Big Rail Brewing, had an innumerable amount of library hangs, and have become each other's best friends. On August 4th, 2023, Jake proposed to Finnley at the top of Mt Tammany and they could not be more overjoyed to celebrate their wedding in June 2024 with all of their loved ones!
