The story of Jake & Syd

Sydney and Jake met at church when the Margo Family moved to Minnetonka when Jake was in elementary school and began attending church at Our Savior. Although they likely met before this point, they remember knowing each other at age 11 (2014).

Meeting

Sydney and Jake were friends from church and through confirmation, and they began to hang out later in middle school when Jake's guy friend group merged with Sydney's girl friend group. They hung out at youth group and with their friends together.

Becoming Friends

After Jake's sister Maddie told Syd that she should date her brother, and with some strong encouragement from their friends, Jake asked Sydney to be his girlfriend in 8th grade. In May of 2018, they were confirmed together, and had been dating for a few months.

Dating

Sydney and Jake did all the fun things that freshman in high school do together - like homecoming 2018!

Beginning Highschool

Sydney and Jake broke up freshman year of highschool :(

oh no... a breakup

Syd and Jake remained in each other's circle of friends throughout being broken up. After Syd began to realize that maybe Jake was the one for her, they began dating and fell in love again junior year of highschool.

and... back together!

Sydney and Jake graduated highschool and went to South Dakota State University together!

graduation & college

Sydney and Jake made many lifelong friends and memories together in college. Sydney graduated college in May 2025, and due to Jake having one more year of college and Sydney beginning graduate school at Kansas State, they began long distance.
