A couple days after matching on a dating app and a few message exchanges, Erica asked Jeff out for drinks on a Friday night in May 2019. We learned that there were at least 20 different events or people we could have been introduced by, but an app brought us together. After two drink dates over that first weekend of May, Jeff was starting a new job the following week that brought him to a conference in Charleston, SC... On that Wednesday he texted Erica a “I’m thinking of staying in Charleston this weekend, want to come? I have miles” After a day or two of deliberation and input from Jackie (one of Erica’s best friends) and her parents who said “You say ‘yes’ to opportunities like this.” Erica said yes to the trip, flew down on that Friday and the rest is history. Charleston became the place where we fell in love. Jeff proposed in August 2020 in the South End of Boston where he tricked Erica into a “move in” celebration and coordinated a photographer and access to Erica’s favorite place, Union Park in Boston, where he got down on one knee. As we began wedding planning and thinking of a place that we both love and is important to us and our relationship, Charleston was the first and only place we wanted to host our celebration. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all in December 2021!
