Jeff and Lydia both attended Penn State however it took them attending the same study abroad program in Florence, Italy for them to finally meet. They hung out occasionally, but things didn’t start until they were back at Penn State and Jeff took Lydia to the creamery for their first date. They dated for 2 years in college then had to move to separate cities for jobs. After many weekend trips to see each other and lots of phone calls, Lydia finally moved to Philadelphia. They lived in the tiniest apartment and both worked from home but they had never been happier. Their dog, Benson joined their little family in 2020 and they moved into their own house. In November 2021 Jeff surprised Lydia with a romantic proposal on their roof deck. They’re both ecstatic to get married and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!
