How We Met

First comes CoVid, then comes LoVe!

We met the old fashion way on "Coffee Meets Bagel" during the later part of the covid lockdown. We had our first date at "Alta Plaza Park" where Jef brought a picnic and 10 thousand drink selections since Sheryl couldn't make up her mind. A year or so later, Jef proposed a walk to the top of Alta Plaza Park and surprised her with some of her closest friends and sealed the deal at the top of the 10 thousand steps. Come watch how the story unfolds at our Wedding and be part of 10 thousand more memories together.
