Jake and Annika met on Bumble in 2021. They shared their first date at Bad Weather Brewing Company in Saint Paul, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Their connection feels destined, especially since Jake’s grandma, Karen, lives in the same senior community where Annika’s great-grandma, Bea, once lived. Both families have celebrated gatherings in the same party room. An interesting turn of events occurred when Annika’s great-grandma moved and Jake’s grandma bought her couch, so now Annika still sees it during visits with Jake’s family.

Faith is a cornerstone of their relationship, guiding them through challenges and enriching their connection. They draw strength from their shared values, which helps them navigate life together.

Jake proposed to Annika during their three-year anniversary trip to Grand Marais, MN, where they celebrated with family. As they look to the future, they envision a life rooted in love, faith, and family. Here’s to a lifetime of joy and shared adventures—cheers to forever!
