Story

It all started on this very porch -pictured on desktop, seen in photos section on mobile (shout out to the Fine's!). Leah was having a great week - she celebrated her birthday and a few days later guess who came into her life... Bamba! Then a few days later, Jacob and Leah met!

We truly found love in a hopeless place, 2020 covid summer - life felt like it all halted. But once we met it started moving forward.

A day hasn't gone by since August 1, 2020 that we haven't talked. There was an instant connection, and it has grown every day since.

Tidbits

How did you first meet?

Through Rachel Fine!

How did you propose?

Jacob created a scavenger hunt to some of their favorite places in Chicago. At each spot someone they had been there with was waiting with the next clue, leading Leah to their apartment rooftop where Jacob was waiting with rose petals, pictures, Bamba, a photographer, and the ring!
