Story
The short and sweet of it all is that we met at Oklahoma City University during our first week of class in our Sophmore year. But Jacob will tell you that he saw me our freshman year at an Opera audition and knew he needed to find out more about me. Who knew it would take a whole year to finally and officially meet? From then on we have been inseparable! It wasn’t too long until we knew that we had found our soulmate.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
College in class!
Who made the first move? How?
Jacob! He asked Emily out for ice cream!
Who's going to take out the trash?
Jacob 9/10 times; Emily every once in a while.
What was your most memorable date?
Spending our first spring break together in Dallas. We spent the day at the Perot Museum and then went to Emily’s first hockey game. We went to a Dallas Stars game where we had scored some suite tickets and were very excited, yet when we got there no one knew where our seats were! Turns out our suite was a press box where film equipment usually lives, but man was it perfect!

Board games!
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Somewhere new! Right now we’re thinking of starting in London and taking a transatlantic cruise back to the states!
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
Sushi in San Francisco, it was attached to our hotel and it was absolutely the best food we’ve had!
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
San Francisco for Emily’s birthday! We stumbled upon a Cherry Blossom Festival and had such a great time!
