Jen and Jeff’s first date was at an Italian restaurant in Chicago. Jeff made an immediate impression by arriving earlier than the punctual Jen, and by pulling out her chair for her at the table. By the third date, where Jen dazzled Jeff and his friends at bar trivia, they both knew they had met someone very special. Jen and Jeff soon introduced each other to their families and friends and started to travel together (Jen's favorite pastime!) That summer, Jen gained two new roommates - Jeff and his mini labradoodle, Cato. In July 2023, Jen and Jeff took the trip of a lifetime to Banff and Jasper National Parks. Jeff wanted to delight Jen with a sunrise visage of Lake Louise and a fancy breakfast at the Fairmount. Jeff proposed at a little after sunrise, with beams of light streaming over the mountain peaks. It was the easiest 'yes' Jen had ever given. We are both so excited to celebrate our wedding day with our family and friends.
