Our Wedding

We each wrote our version of our story without seeing each other's take...

In Jacob's Words...

Our story starts in the Fall of 2018. I was your typical unorganized 18 year old college student, and Nicole was the cute girl in my freshman organization at A&amp;M. Over our freshman year, we became friends and I developed a huge crush on Nicole. I remember getting to our weekly organization meetings early so I might have the chance to sit near her. Life happened, and we finally found our way back and started "talking" during the Spring/Summer of 2020. The pandemic made things tough, but we both came back to College Station that August. I wasted no time asking her to be my girlfriend, and we never looked back. I feel that it's important to note that just 2 months after asking her to be my girlfriend, I invited Nicole on a family beach trip to meet my parents. Within 20 minutes of arriving on the trip, I had join a Zoom meeting, leaving Nicole to her own devices with my family. She made an incredible impression (duh!) and my family has raved about how much they love her ever since.

In Nicole's Words...

Jacob and I were in the same service organization our freshman year of college. We got to know each other as friends, serving the College Station community. My crush on Jacob continued to grow. One night in June 2019, at a very typical college party, after admittedly a few too many, I told some of my girlfriends about my secret crush, and how I wish he was at the same party. He came to the party, and I had the new found confidence to actually tell him I liked him. College craziness happened, but we continued to stay in touch off and on. On July 4th 2020, we went to a firework show in Bryan and stayed up all night (... all night) talking about life, family, God, our childhoods, friends, goals and dreams. That was the night I knew he was the man for me. Finally on August 16, 2020, he made it official and asked me to be his partner - well worth the wait.
