Jake and Jessi met online in the summer of 2022 on Hinge. Toward the end of July, they had their first date at The District, and it didn’t take long to realize something special was there. The second and third dates followed quickly, turning into many more as they spent hours talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. Just a month after their first date, Jake asked Jessi to be his girlfriend.

In April 2023, they moved into their first place together and began building a life side by side. Since then, they’ve traveled to new places, celebrated close friends and family getting married, welcomed new nephews, and spent time doing some of their favorite things—being on the water and going to concerts, while also simply enjoying everyday life together.

On August 8, 2025, with the help of some of Jessi’s closest friends, Jake got down on one knee on the beach at Devil’s Lake State Park and asked Jessi to marry him.

They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most!
