15 | She wasn’t looking for love. He couldn’t get her name right. Jon and Emily’s rom-com love story includes a Lifehouse song, a snow scene, and a wedding just hours after graduation.

Jon first noticed Emily at a college registration table—but struck out when she wouldn’t give him her name. Strike two came months later when he confidently called her “Amanda” during spring break. But everything changed one night on the beach when Jon pulled out his guitar and sang “You and Me” by Lifehouse—Emily’s favorite band. Their eyes met, and something sparked.
Back on campus, they fell in love over pork chops in her apartment and happy hour appetizers. On Christmas Eve, Jon created a snowy scene outside her window, serenaded her with a song he’d written, and proposed. She said yes—but her parents made them wait until after graduation.
Three years later, on the same day Jon graduated, they got married. There was a slight delay when no one told Emily to walk down the aisle, but once she did, their hearts were full.
Their honeymoon cruise brought plenty of laughs—and their love story brings all the warmth, patience, and joy of a real-life romantic comedy.
