Valery and Jeffrey met in the summer of 2017. Valery was studying nutrition in Caracas and a work strike at her school allowed her the time to visit her brother and sister-in-law, Jaime and Lilli, in Houston. During this time Valery and Jeffrey connected through Jswipe and what started as a casual date became a lifetime commitment. Valery and Jeffrey were married civilly in November of 2017 with the intent of having a “proper Jewish wedding” in the near future... three years and one pandemic later, here we are.
