Jacob was born in Front Royal, VA and moved to Huntersville, NC when he was 11 years old. He graduated college from North Carolina State University and is now an Electrical Engineer. Alice grew up in Concord, NC. She graduated college from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and is now a Recruiter. Jacob and Alice both reside in the beautiful town of Greenville, SC. Together, we have two wonderful scottish terriers, Berkeley and Mckenzie.
How we met:
Well…it is kind of hard to explain how we met in one small paragraph, because if you ask our friends it was months in the making. Alice’s friend/bridesmaid and Jacob’s friend/groomsman who also happen to be married thought we would make a great couple and tried for months to get us to meet each other. All of their hard work finally paid off and we are very greatful that they never gave up! We went out and immediantly hit it off. Alice was living in Charlotte and Jacob in Greenville. After a few months a long distance, Alice decided to move to Greenville, SC and it was the best decision she has ever made!
Engagement:
It was right around my birthday in May and for my birthday present Jacob gave me a spa treatment at a spa in Wilmington, NC. He also booked a night at a Bed and Breakfast in downtown Wilmington, it was very romantic. It was memorial day weekend. So friday night we drive down to wilmington and the B&B was wonderful. Saturday morning we wake up, eat breakfast, and we have some extra time before my “spa treatment” so Jacob asks if we want to go to the beach. I am like suuure. So we drive out to Figure Eight, where my grandparents have a beach house and I grew up going to the beach, it is one of my favorite places in the world to be. We start walking on the beach and he waits for the perfect time, turns in front of me and I lost it before he even started talking. He then got down on one knee and proposed. It was perfect. We spent the rest of the weekend traveling and visiting family and friends. Turns out the spa treatment was just a lure to get me to the beach. I told him I would take him over the spa anyday.
How we envision our wedding…
We want our wedding day to be everything we have ever imagined. I keep making a list of ideas and details to make sure the small things do not get over looked. We want the room to be filled with our family and best friends. People who have meant something to us and have made us who we are today. We want everyone to see the love that we have for each other and this is our big day to shout it out loud how happy we are. We want people to have lots of fun and to dance the night away. I am trying to make it as unique as possible, but still keep old traditions.
