Jack and Emily met through mutual friends. Emily wanted to play Rock Band, and one of Jack's roommates had the game so Emily and Sarah went over to play. Emily found out that Jack had not been to a UNC football game yet (it was their senior year), so she made it her mission to drag him to a game and make him be her friend. 

​

Jack and Emily became closer friends and "fake dated" a lot. They would make jokes about being boyfriend/girlfriend. Emily was not aware that Jack actually liked her, and she kept going on and on about other guys (yikes!)

​

On New Years' Eve 2021 going into 2022, Emily was supposed to miss Jack's party, but ended up making it anyway (thank you universe!!). Jack was having a rough night, and went out to the stairs outside his apartment. Emily was worried about him and went to check on him to see if he was okay. They kissed (you should ask them who kissed who), and have been inseparable ever since.

​

Jack & Em are elated to get married. They have talked about a future together for a long time, so when Jack asked Emily to marry him, it was an obvious yes. They are both looking forward to spending their lives together and celebrating their love with all of you in February.
