Matron of Honor, Mayzie Cremer, set Jacob and Lainey up at her own wedding. As two of the only single people in the wedding party, Jacob and Lainey became friends before meeting at the rehearsal on July 2, 2021. After a whirlwind trip to Montana, Lainey flew back to DC. Plans were already set for Lainey to visit again and they talked every day. Although Jacob and Lainey weren't "official" until she visited again in the fall, Lane and Mayzie's rehearsal is their unofficial anniversary.

Fast forward to 2022, Lainey made plans to transition into remote work and moved in with Jacob in September. Lainey's Dad flew from DC to drive across the country in Lainey's Bronco. He was thrilled to move her somewhere safer and see her surrounded by the Stenbergs and Big Timber community.

Lainey survived a rough Montana winter and learned a lot of things on the ranch before Jacob popped the question on November 12, 2023. Of course, Mayzie was a part of this too! Jacob filled Mayzie in on his plans to propose during Christmas pictures.
