We found love at a Pilot, a reminder that soulmates can be found anywhere

After meeting at a Pilot, this couple goes back for a visit every anniversary.

This Valentine’s Day, snuggle up with something sweet—a story that proves love can be found anywhere. Jake and Ashton first met at a Pilot gas station in Knoxville and have been together ever since.

The couple met at Pilot store 105 when Ashton asked Jake for his phone number, and the rest is history. Every year since, the couple have stopped by the Pilot where they met to celebrate their dating anniversary.

“It seemed fitting that I ask for her hand in marriage at the place she asked for my number,” said Jake. “We call it ‘our Pilot’ and always stop by on the anniversary of when we started dating. Now, we’ll stop by for the anniversary of our marriage.”
