Jeff and Abby met on November 9, 2014, when their mutual friend, Chelsea Fournier, invited some of her favorite people over to watch the Bears game. Abby thought Jeff was pretty cute, however (much like Jay Cutler) Jeff dropped the ball and didn't take the hint. They did not connect again until a New Years party at Jeff's apartment, where they played music together for the first time and shared their first kiss. Their first date was at Bar Louie in Downtown Chicago, followed by an (unintentional) romantic hike through lower Wacker to Millennium Park. After that, they were inseparable. He introduced her to modern board games, and she introduced him to modern dance. They found they share a love of sushi, puzzles, NBC's Parenthood, and playing covers of pop songs. In December 2016, Jeff popped the question the day they got the keys to their new Chicago condo, while their closest friends waited on the roof in 13 degree weather! She said yes! We are so excited to get married and share our big day with you all!
