Jordan and Makaila met in 2014 when they started classes in Graphic Design at The University of Akron. Their paths didn't cross until January 2018 when they had all of their classes together senior year.

Jordan came and sat by Makaila and her friends in class and eventually, they added each other on Snapchat. Makaila snapped Jordan and last minute invited Jordan out to a bar crawl in Kent, which in typical Makaila fashion was with her entire family. They spent the evening drinking together with her friends and family and even got late-night snacks at Rays with her parents.

After spending almost all of their time together at school and Makaila's Apartment, they made things official 3 months later and celebrated by going to Mannys Pub in Akron (if you know you know).

They graduated college together in 2018 and started their careers in Graphic Design.

Soon after they moved into an apartment in Canal Fulton together in the Summer of 2019 not knowing they would be stuck together 24/7 because of the COVID lockdown.

In October they rescued their first a cat together that Makaila found on Halloween, and named her Lady. They spent lockdown playing video games (mostly Fortnite) and hanging out with the only people they were seeing, Makaila’s family & Jordan's Parents. But most importantly they spent this time falling more and more in love.

In the fall of 2020, they decided to move closer to family and bought a house in Cuyahoga Falls, but not before adding another furbaby, Peach, to their family.

They have spent the last 4 years fixing up their house, adopting 2 more cats, Mabel & Gunk, fostering many cats, traveling, celebrating 5 years together, and spending time with family & friends.

Jordan FINALLY proposed surrounded by Makaila's entire family on their annual beach trip to Anna Maria Island. When the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, he got down on one knee and asked Makaila to marry him. They spent the rest of the week celebrating with family and we can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
