We went to the same elementary school but did not know each other. Through mutual friends, we met for the first time when Jayden was 14 and Will was 15 at the mall. We ran into each other at a bonfire a few years later and reconnected. We have been dating since December 26, 2015. Yes, Will did wait to ask Jayden to be his girlfriend until the day after Christmas so he didn't have to buy her a gift.

We were long-distance for three years in college while Jayden was in Madison and Will was in Wausau. We now live in Grafton, Wisconsin, and have two dogs together, Winston and Lola, that take up most of our time. Will proposed to Jayden on August 27th, 2022 after about 7 years of dating in Scarborough, Canada. We are both looking forward to continuing to share our life together.
