We are excited to welcome you to our wedding

Labor day weekend of 2019, Emily was visiting one of her good friends, Lauren Yetman, in Boston, MA. That night Emily met up with Lauren's friend Mario Kula who happened to be Jeffrey's roommate and best friend. After hanging out that weekend, Jeffrey couldn't resist letting Emily stay in Rochester, NY! Jeffrey purchased chateau Riva for both of them to live in! They have had many happy times, and good eats, created new and fostered existing friendships, and have had new and exciting travels along the way! In the winter of 2021, Jeffrey called the Bower Family asking to marry their daughter (Peanut).

On December 18, 2021, Jeffrey and Emily had planned to celebrate their Christmas together because Emily was heading back to Rochester, NY, to spend the holiday. Jeffrey had the engagement ring hidden at the bottom of Emily's Christmas stocking. Emily opened gift after gift, finally reaching the bottom of the stocking. To her surprise, she pulled out a black ring box. Jeffrey popped down on one knee! They both cried and were so elated! Jeffrey and Emily immediately called their families to share the news! Later that evening, they celebrated in Boston with family and friends.
