Our Wedding

In October of 2014, two singles who had been chatting through Match.com and text messaging finally met at Staufs Coffee House in Grandview, Oh. The two chatted and a hour past quickly with constant conversation. Jake and Kristen went on a their first date to the shooting range and a Mexican restaurant. Before their second date could happen Jake left to visit Minnesota for two weeks. It was probably two of the longest weeks which turned into three until they could go on their second date and as time passed they went on more dates like rock climbing, movies, and making dinners.Finally the two became "official" on February 17, 2015 and soon after met each others family.Almost two years later Jake popped the question where it all began in the most romantic way ever. The two arrived at Staufs like they sometimes do so Jake could dive into his textbooks. This time was different Jake didn't dive in right away, but kept reminiscing about their meet date. After slowly sipping her coffee (Jake is anxiously waiting) Kristen finally gets to the bottom of her mug where "Will you marry me" was written at the bottom. Kristen said, "of course" with out Jake verbally asking but then Jake got down on one knee and asked. It was all very surreal.
