At an Exercise Science class in 2017 at Grand Valley State University, Jake Harmon met Katarina Gaffka and knew he had to get to know her better. After class, he asked for her number, took her on dates to his Strong Man events, and even introduced her to his pet Tegu named Aldwin, a stocky carnivorous lizard native to South America. Engaged in 2020, they decided to marry on May 21, 2022. With the blessings of their parents, Bob & Penny Harmon and Doug & Janet Gaffka, the couple married at St. Patrick’s in Grand Haven followed by a joyful reception surrounded by family friends! All the best to this lovely, loving and lovable couple!
