We met in November 2016, the day after Thanksgiving, when we both swiped right on each other on Tinder. Jake was still living in Toledo, Ohio and Rachel was in Reno, Nevada. There was an instant connection once we matched, even just through chatting online. Texts turned into phone calls, which turned into daily FaceTimes. Eventually, we met in person for the first time in early February, a little over 2 months since we had initially matched. Jake also brought Bruno, a 19 lb energetic border terrier / pug mix, who is still a permanent fixture in our lives (now 14 years old!). In April 2017, we officially became a couple, and later that year, moved in together.
Over the following years, many trips were taken. From a cruise to Alaska, to swimming in the ocean in Maui, and many other trips along the way, our relationship only strengthened. Have you ever driven across the country? Did you go insane? We made that journey, with Bruno, to Ohio two years in a row – a total of 9,000 miles and 136 hours of driving.
In the middle of the pandemic in 2020, we bought our first house together. From replacing the flooring in every room, to painting every wall (and ceiling) and more, we turned a house into a home.
On October 15, 2021, Jake proposed to Rachel at an overlook right around the corner from our house. With a carefully planned arrangement, Jake continued the surprise with an engagement dinner with close family and friends – many having known the proposal plan for weeks leading up to it.
From our mutual love of deep conversations, quality time with family, hosting game nights with our friends, bingeing Netflix series’ together, traveling, and so much more, we are thankful we found each other. We are excited to extend an invite to you to our wedding and to share a fun-filled evening with our families and friends!
Thankfully we are in a fortunate position where we have a fully furnished home and don't have any requests for physical gifts.
That said, our goal with this wedding is to have a great party, celebrating our love with our closest family and friends, without breaking the bank in the process. We appreciate any funds you can help contribute to hosting this wedding.
