It all started with a chance encounter when Stephanie met Jeff's friend Cole out and about in Nashville one weekend. Cole took it upon himself to "introduce" Jeff and Stephanie via text, and after a few weeks of texting back and forth, we decided it was time to meet for our first date at Tavern. Obviously the date went well, and it didn't take long for us to completely fall in love. Thanks Cole!

Jeff still needed to finish his Christmas shopping, so he convinced Stephanie to go with him to Franklin for the day, promising that they would see the Christmas light display on their way home. But instead of driving to the mall or any stores they typically shop in, Jeff parked the car outside of Genesis Diamonds. It still didn't click for Stephanie until he said the actual words and asked her to marry him, and then they shared the incredibly special moments picking out the engagement ring together. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Nashville!
