Jake and Kaysee's story began during their senior year at Ohio University, where they frequented in the same friend group. As the world navigated the uncertainties of the pandemic, their paths crossed frequently at the apartment complex where Jake and many of their friends lived. In those moments of shared experiences and college memories, a friendship naturally began to grow.

As they enjoyed their last year of college, they spent more time together and realized there was something special between them. In February 2021, they began dating, and despite the challenges of being apart after graduation in May, their connection remained strong. Over the next year, they faced the trials of long-distance, but their bond only deepened as they navigated life in different cities, always finding ways to stay close no matter the distance.

In August 2022, Kaysee took a big step and moved to Cleveland to be with Jake, marking the beginning of their next chapter together. It didn’t take long before their new home was filled with even more joy when they brought home their dog, Willow.

In March 2024, Jake and Kaysee made an exciting leap and bought their first home, a place they could call their own and fill with memories of their life together. It was a milestone that marked the beginning of many more adventures to come.

From the moment they met, they knew they had found something rare and beautiful. It was clear that they were meant to be, and in August 2024, Jake made it official, asking Kaysee to spend forever by his side. Their journey together has been filled with love, laughter, and a shared vision for the future, and they can’t wait to see what’s next.
