We're getting married!

We first met in an Irish Pub in Times Square on a Men's Basketball ACC Trip while having drinks with colleagues. We then crossed paths again at South Bend City Church not long after. A few months of after church banter ensues, then we did what millennials do and slid into the DMs. We had our first date during the summer of 2017, at Tapastrie, our local tapas place. The next day we adventured to Chicago together, and the rest is history!

It was 10.30.20, the day we were closing on our new home and we had planned to celebrate by having dinner and drinks with friends followed by popping champagne at the new place, or so Delayna thought. While we were getting ready for the evening we received a text from a good friend inviting us for drinks and a tour of the soon to be opened 'Fat Bird' (formerly Tapastrie, where we had our first date.) Delayna was so excited, she felt like she had spoken this into existence as she had wanted to view the new place before it's opening. We were touring the wine cellar and Jeff made his way upstairs and Delayna remained in the wine cellar with our friend, Rae. To the sound of Dave Matthews "You and Me" Jeff was standing in the exact spot we had our last date at Tapastrie before it's closing and within an eyeshot of the table where we had our first date. It was there that our story began and where we turned the page to our next chapter.
