Jacob and Brooke have been together for just around five years, but have known each other for close to ten. Jacob and Brooke both attended Hickory Middle and High School together, but would only be acquaintances throughout school. The two would not become close friends until Brooke’s freshman year of college. Brooke was at James Madison University (go dukes!) and Jacob was attending Virginia Military Institute when they began dating in March of 2020, at the beginning of COVID-19. Since the two began dating, they have been truly inseparable and have weathered long-distance, undergraduate and graduate school, the home-buying process, becoming dog parents together, and many MANY baseball games together. Brooke and Jacob are so excited to be getting married and cannot wait to celebrate their love with all of you!
