Jeff and Sarah met in November 2020 while both attending a pandemic-friendly outdoor music event by Desert Hearts. Their first date would come some months later in April of 2021. Their 2nd date was in the Joshua Tree desert under the stars and pink full moon at a friend’s music festival. One year later on the anniversary of saying, I love you, Jeff proposed at the same friend’s festival out in Antelope Valley to Sade’s Smooth Operator, an absolute favorite song of the couple’s.
