Freya and Jack met in Chinese class at The University of Michigan in the fall of 2009. They would frequently study together and eat lunch together quickly becoming friends. In the fall of 2011 they started dating. After college, their individual pursuits took them all over the world and throughout U.S., but upstate New York brought them together just as the pandemic began. By December 2020 they were engaged and ready for their next adventure!
We met on an app and quickly began sending lengthy messages to each other throughout each day. We decided that for our first date we would meet up for a hike (Mt Severance in Schroon Lake, NY). From that first date forward we both knew there was something special and different about one another and before we knew it we were spending every weekend with one another. We would take turns driving the 2.5 hours to and from one another’s residences (Emily in Indian Lake, NY and Kristen in Burlington, VT). We did this for just under two years before taking the next step. After Kristen graduated with her Master’s degree, she moved to Blue Mountain Lake, NY to live with Emily. Shortly after the move, Kristen got her dream job in Indian Lake, NY as a mental health counselor. We got engaged in January 2020 (Emily proposed first) and spent the next year and a half planning our dream wedding. We are so unbelievably happy to be Mrs. And Mrs. Wade!
The short story is – at a Halloween Party. We started dating a few months later, in January of 2020, and became inseparable shortly after- literally, we quarantined together after 3 months of dating, then “officially” moved in with one another in September of the same year. And by that I mean Will finally gave up the Fidi apartment we first met in since we had been living together at my place in Astoria since March when lockdown first began.
We started off as “just friends” after meeting one another freshman year of college but we both agreed that deep down from the moment that we met, we couldn’t quite shake the feeling that we were meant to be more. We spent quite a few years fighting our feelings but slowly things all fell into place. We started “officially” dating the weekend of undergraduate graduation and since then have lived in two different RVs, worked in 6 states traveling the US for work and most recently bought our first home in Cleveland.
Being a police officer and a physician assistant in an emergency department, we both have crazy schedules, but it works for us! When we are off together we enjoy spending time at local coffee shops, finding the best treats in town, and walks at the park. We love country concerts, beach vacations, Disney World, and time with family and friends.
Growing up down the street from one another we have always been a part of each other’s lives. From riding the same school bus together in 3rd grade to slow dancing at our 8th grade dance, there always seemed to be a spark between us. When high school rolled around, we had every class together and quickly became inseparable best friends. In college, although it seemed we had moved in separate directions, we found ourselves in the same city. There was always something pulling us together, whether we knew it or not. After reconnecting, reminiscing, and many belly laughs later, we realized we found friendship and love in the same person. We were always meant to be in each other’s lives and definitely more than just friends. We spent our first two years together in Skaneateles (our favorite town!) and weathered two years of long distance eventually landing us in Stamford, CT. One wiener dog later and so many amazing memories together, we are so excited to be married! This is just the beginning of our journey together, and we know now more than ever that we were destined to be together.
