As Rihanna famously said "we found love in a hopeless place" and that hopeless place was the 354 Military Police Company. Jake and Allison met in 2018 when he arrived at the unit and was placed in her platoon. Jake later left for the academy and showed back up to the unit with a broken toe so inherently Allison made fun of him for it (if you know, you know). Fast forward to 2019, they were both told they are deploying soon and the next year and a half they would spend every day together.

While deployed, Jake and Allison worked the same shift with a group of their closest friends. This entailed Jake patrolling the base (shocker) and Allison at the visitor's center where she was not able to leave. At first, Allison would ask him to bring her drinks and snacks from the commissary, but only after a few days, he would show up with them without her even asking. Those visits became more frequent, which eventually led to the conversation of "what are we?" and they quickly realized what they were.

Jake and Allison returned home in February of 2021, where they met each other's families and quickly knew they had found their person. From buying a new house, adding another fur baby to the group, starting their careers, and many hardships in between, Jake and Allison are excited for what the future holds for them and are excited to share their big day with their closest family and friends!
