9 years ago, in the summer a week before we were headed back to school at UNCA, we both decided to go to the infamous Bier Garden. A mutual friend was buying me a drink when Jakob noticed and decided to stand next to me. At first not saying anything, he then finally introduced himself. We then sat at the bar and talked until it closed. From there we talked every day and couldn’t resist hanging out as much as possible. I would bring him dinner to his job at the UNCA library and he would meet me after my Neuroscience class and walk with me to my next class. The rest is history! We’re each other’s forever best friends and we cannot wait to have our family and friends celebrate this special day with us!
