Wedding Date on Jul 29, 2017

From The Bride: I met Gracey-Hope in 2015 halfway through her first semester of college. Right around that time we had a group of mutual friends that starting getting together to hang. I immediately felt like we would somehow be in each others lives! Our former small town high schools were rivals and happened to be playing each other on the weekend she came home to visit. Our hangout with our friend group that weekend was at a restaurant, and we got to know one another that evening. We knew in no time that we had met someone special for each other. We continued weeding through the surface small talk and naturally challenged each other with hard questions. Those conversations started bringing us closer and closer. We started ‘officially’ dating mid-July of 2015! Jake proposed in September of 2016... I was totally caught off guard! He surprised me in the woods with a bunch of our old pictures hanging in the area that he got down on one knee. We soaked in the excitement and rolled up our sleeves to start the wedding planning! Fortunately Jake had already booked a date for the venue I wanted to use, so that was one to-do off the list! With the help of both sets of parents we were able to delegate a lot of things to our willing family members which was another check mark off of our list. Throughout the whole process we tried to continually remind each other that the most important thing of this event is each other and the life we live after the wedding day. We both loved the detailed planning and enjoyed the steps to get to our big day. Our wedding felt so magical and surreal, and we are so grateful to have video to reminisce on. We look forward to the days and years to come with one another, and believe the best days are still ahead.
