Our Wedding

We met in high school, where we were both in marching band. We were in the same friend circle but had never interacted much until we had study hall together junior year. During that time, we got to know each other through lots of discussions and poker games with our friends. During the summer before senior year, we both went on a trip across Europe with the University of Louisville, where we performed in a concert band in many countries. We had gotten even closer in the months leading up to it, and when we were at Zermatt in Switzerland, Jacob asked Hannah to officially be his girlfriend. After a great senior year, we had a big challenge ahead of us: Jacob was going to the University of Alabama and Hannah was going to EKU. We decided to continue our relationship long-distance. While it wasn't easy, we both put in a lot of effort to make it work, including many calls, visits, and watching TV shows online together. Jacob graduated with his master's in December 2022 and moved back to Lexington. After reuniting, he started planning on how to propose. He had known for a long time that he wanted to marry Hannah, and they'd had many conversations about it over time. It took him a while, but he proposed at The Kentucky Castle in January 2024, and Hannah said yes! Although we are still young, we have been through a lot together. From young love in high school, to a long-distance relationship in college, and now navigating the beginnings of our professional lives, we have been there for each other every step of the way. We've stood on the tops of mountains in Europe, marched the streets of Disney World, and studied in the halls of Tuscaloosa and Richmond together. We can't wait for November to come and are counting down the days until we make it official! The future is brighter than ever for us as we are so excited to share the rest of our lives together.
