What brought you two together?

 We actually went to prom with two separate dates junior year of high school. Our dates ended up leaving us for each other, so Jacob and I ended up hanging out all evening. We then got sat next to each other in our biology class senior year because our names were in alphabetical order. We spent that next year becoming closer!

Why did you decide to get married?

We decided to get married because we are in a good place to do so now. We have been together 8 years, but we were doing long distance for a long time because I was in Pennsylvania for school while he was working in Maryland.
