Emily & Jake

About us

We met in March 2024 in Durham, NC. Our first date was at a noisy bar which we quickly left for a quieter bar so we could hear each other.

We enjoy going on walks with our dogs, Daisy and Enyo, playing the NYT games like Connections, camping, and going to concerts. Jake does improv and sketch comedy. Emily is a regular at the local figure drawing meetup. Our lives in Durham are full of friends, and we’re thrilled to have so many of them at our wedding.

On November 8th 2025, at Stone Mountain, North Carolina, Jake got down on one knee and asked Emily if she would marry him. She said yes.
