Love Strikes at University

Jacob and Indy's Journey to Forever

Picture this: the bustling hallways of the university campus, and in the midst of it all, there’s Jacob and Indy. Jacob, in a moment of sheer courage, asked for Indy’s number on their very first day at university. It was near the campus rec and little did they know that this simple encounter would set the stage for a remarkable love story.

As they got to talking, they discovered they had a morning class together, a class that would become the backdrop of their budding relationship. Indy, the early riser, started picking up Jacob three days a week, and they embarked on a journey of getting to know one another, inside and out.

Now, here’s the twist – both of them were passionate wrestlers for their university, but there was a strict “no dating” policy between the men’s and women’s teams. To avoid any complications, they had to keep their growing affection a secret throughout their wrestling careers.

Their first official non-date was at Boston Pizza, a place that would soon hold a special spot in their hearts. Many more non-dates followed – dinners, movies, and unforgettable moments that created the foundation of their love story.

They were planning their second trip to Hawaii, and Jacob had a grand plan up his sleeve. He ordered an engagement ring online and conspired with his sister-in-law to have it delivered to the hotel where the Luau was happening. A surprise proposal in paradise, anyone?

But here’s where the fun begins. Jacob, trying to maintain the element of surprise, had to get creative. When they reached the Royal Lahaina hotel, he told Indy he needed to pick up a package for her. Little did she know, this package was the key to their forever.

The “shops” turned out to be a convenience store, and they had quite the adventure finding that elusive package. Jacob was feeling the heat but decided to make a last-minute plan with the help of the hotel staff.

The moment arrived, and as the band played “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the spotlight fell on Jacob and Indy. In front of a captivated crowd, Jacob nervously asked, “Do you want to be my best friend forever?” The crowd erupted with joy.

Indy, overwhelmed by the moment, initially blushed and turned away, saying, “stoooop.” But love prevailed, and as they both laughed, she turned back, said yes, and Jacob, in his excitement, almost forgot which finger the ring belonged on.

And so, their love story took a magical turn amidst the palm trees and the sound of the ukulele. From their first encounter at the university to a surprise proposal in Hawaii, Jacob and Indy’s love story is a testament to the power of love that can’t be held back, not even by a strict no-dating rule.
