Wedding bells will ring for Santa Monica native Brittany Jolivette and Jacob Pierce of Poulsbo, Washington the beginning of April. In a private wedding ceremony, 200 invited guests will join the lovely couple as they exchange their wedding vows.
Watching Brittany grow through the years as she attended Santa Monica schools – McKinley Elementary, John Adams Middle School, and Santa Monica High School has brought me many moments of joy and happiness. She received a BA from the University of Florida and a Masters Degree in Nursing from UCLA, where she continued to excel in her studies. These accomplishments all make me a very proud grandmother.
How did the two meet when they were living in different cities? Brittany explained, “Jake and I met on Bumble, an online dating site where those who identify as women initiate the conversation. We had our first date back in January of 2019 in Long Beach, and it‘s been amazing ever since.
“Jake’s the most kindhearted human I’ve met, and I’m very happy he popped the question. While forever with him doesn’t seem long enough, I will continue to cherish every moment!”
Brittany’s parents Gloria and Craig Jolivette of Santa Monica recently announced Brittany’s choice to wed Jacob Pierce with open arms.
The couple will reside in Tacoma, Washington where Brittany is doing nursing, and Jacob is a longshoreman working in his family’s business.
Much happiness to them both on this new adventure.
