How it all began
—
In early 2022, Jacob moved to Idaho on his own to begin his journey and meet new people. Little did he know that soon after planting roots in Boise, he’d meet the love of his life through a dating app and his life would change for the best.
Hailee, on the other hand, a fifth-generation Idahoan, was about to give up on the dating scene in her small hometown. Close to deleting the dating app, her friends kept encouraging her to go on dates, telling her, “all you need is just a guy to move here from another state.” Little did she know that they were manifesting her future husband.
Their first date at Edge Brewing started with a hiccup for Hailee when her high heel snapped that morning on the way to work. Although she wanted to cancel, she pushed through adversity and certainly has no regrets now. Their love story has only become stronger while creating many memories through their travels, restaurant adventures, and weekends spent together.
How did Jacob propose?
Jacob planned an intimate proposal in Sonoma wine country, where the two of them had spent a long weekend together in the past. With Hailee’s love for bubbly wine, the engagement was planned at Gloria Ferrer Estate winery outside of Sonoma. They enjoyed several tastes of bubbly before working their way down to the pergola area overlooking the valley, where Jacob got on one knee and asked the love of his life to be his forever.
When did you know?
Jacob knew the second Hailee limped down the street into Edge Brewing, wearing her white fur coat and broken high heel. Hailee knew on their second date after tasting the first bite of the homemade carbonara Jacob had made for her that evening. The carbonara, coupled with the delicious bottle of red wine Jacob had spent all afternoon picking out just for the special occasion, sealed the deal.
