Our Story

How we got here

Jacob and Vanessa

We met in our first year of university in 2018, and started dating that December 6th.

Through school, first jobs, and everything in between, here we are.

On December 6, 2026, exactly eight years to the day, we'll begin the next chapter, surrounded by the people who have helped shape it.

We can't wait to celebrate with you.
