We met in August of 2019 at an RUF welcome party at JSU. I knew his brother, Chris, and he told us he would be bringing Jeff. Halfway through the welcome party Daniel, our RUF minister, screams across the room at me “Hey Allison, Jeff’s a marketing major!” I immediately thought he was cute, but was not interested at the time. The semester kept on going and we kept hanging out at RUF events and growing closer. We went to Six Flags, the same small groups, and Jeff even went to a Bachelorette watch party as an excuse to hang out with me. (Looking back now, that should’ve been the biggest green flag) We finally started dating right after the 2020 RUF SnoCo. That weekend we got to talk outside of a group setting for the first time. I can tell you I liked Jeff from the beginning but it took months of convincing and offering him quiz answers for me to get that first date! Our first date at Heirloom was awkward and messy and I refused to let him pay. But we had such a fun time and the rest was history. We cannot wait to continue our story with more heirloom dates, six flags journeys, and even Daniel officiating our wedding (how full circle.) Thank you to everyone who supported us in our highs and lows and thank you for supporting us through this engagement!
