Our Wedding

Our Story

It all started one winter night back at a bar called "Factory" in their hometown. Jake instantly fell in love the moment he saw Kayla, and in true Jake fashion, his best pick up line was asking her to take him to Taco Bell at 1:00am. (Spoiler: she did not.) Kayla thought he was super cute but wasn't quite ready to drive a random guy to grab tacos in the middle of the night. Still, there was something about him that she could not stop thinking about. Jake made the first move by adding her on Snapchat the second she pulled in her driveway that night with her best friend Al. From that day, Jake and Kayla have never stopped talking. Shortly after hanging out the first couple of times, Kayla was headed to Mexico with her family, and Jake was headed up North with his. A few drinks in, Jake couldn't stop talking about the girl he had met. He told his family- who hadn't even met her yet- "I'm going to marry this girl, watch". Meanwhile, Kayla was in Mexico missing him the entire time. When they both reconnected after returning home, everything just clicked. Kayla knew it was love from the moment she met him- even if she tried to play hard to get. They officially became a couple the afternoon after Kayla returned home from Mexico, where Jake visited her on her lunch at work with sushi, flowers and lemonade. He couldn't even wait until she was off of work he was so excited. Since officially becoming a couple on May 23rd, 2023, life together has been full of laughter, late-night talks, and countless adventures. They balance each other perfectly: Kayla is the planner, always thinking ahead, and Jake is the one who reminds her to slow down and go with the flow. Whether they are cooking dinner together, heading up north for a weekend, or simply lying on the couch talking for hours, they find joy in the little things. Their home they built, truly became a family when they adopted Smokey from Kindred Kitties - their sweet, curious, and cuddly little cat who instantly became their baby. On September 27th, 2025, Jake proposed to Kayla by the Kenosha Lakefront Marina, making it the start to their forever. For Kayla, the most exciting part of marriage is the promise- to love Jake endlessly, to stand by his side through every chapter, and to always he his biggest supporter. It's about growing through life together, building a home filled with laughter, and creating a family grounded in love, patience and understanding. For Jake, the most exciting part of marriage is knowing that real love takes sacrifice and effort- and that every challenge we face together will only make our bond stronger. He is excited to build a life where we both give our all, choose each other every day, and grow into something bigger than ourselves (and Smokey)- a family.
