Shelley and Jake's Downtown CDA Engagement

The first time Jake saw Shelley, she caught his eye. He thought "no chance she's alone." of course, no one was with her at the time, but surely a guy would walk up at any moment. So he kept one eye on her as he browsed the farmers market downtown Coeur d'Alene. She would later make her way over to the Bouey to get a drink, and again, she was alone. Jake had a choice to make - man up and go talk to her - or leave. He decided to step out and try to talk to her, walking up and asking her if he could buy her glass of wine.

At this point Shelley noticed Jake for the first time. And her first thought was "Is this super handsome guy really asking to buy me a drink?! That can't be true…" Well, it was all true, and they would end up talking that day for around four hours. Jake would leave her with a kiss, and she would leave him with her number.  

The next day they'd have their first date, and Shelley told me all of her first impressions were confirmed on the date. Jake really wasthat handsome, he really was that kind, and he seemed to be just as awesome as she thought he'd be.  

The rest is history, as these two would date, and now, two years after they first met, they are getting married! So excited for both of these two, and so excited I get to be a part of their wedding day.
