Jaianah and Jake met almost six years ago at a mutual family friend’s wedding. We were both definitely interested, but neither of us made a move—we just brushed it off and went on with our lives.

Over the next few months, we saw each other here and there, but everything really started at the Parker 425 in January 2020. That weekend changed everything. We clicked, started talking nonstop, and pretty much never looked back. Jake was still going back and forth from California for work, and Jaianah was living in Havasu full-time, but we made it work.

Eventually, Jaianah moved to Texas for a job. We tried the long-distance thing, but it didn’t take long before Jake asked her to move back to Havasu and move in with him. She realized that Havasu was the home and place she loved living, and where Jake was.

Soon after, we got our first dog, Rigly a six-week-old Border Collie with more energy than we were prepared for. A year and a half later, we brought home Tigger, and our little family of four was complete.

We love spending time on the lake, heading out to Parker, being in the desert, and traveling. One of our favorite places quickly became Cabo, and we always talked about how it just felt right for a wedding.

Before any of that happened though, Jake did things the right way—he asked both of Jaianah’s parents for their blessing. He and her dad went out to the sand hill, shared a bottle of tequila, and he asked if he could marry her.

On February 14th, 2025, Jake proposed to Jaianah in their home, and of course, she said yes.

Now, we’re getting married in a place we love, surrounded by the people we love. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you in Cabo!
