We’re so excited to celebrate in one of our favorite places. Traverse City holds a special place in our hearts, and we hope you’ll enjoy the lake views, wineries, restaurants, and everything the weekend has to offer.

We met online—both of us taking a chance while looking for something genuine. After a few good conversations and an easy back-and-forth, we decided to meet in person for mini golf. What started as a simple, lighthearted date quickly felt like more. We both work in emergency medicine—Jeff is a physician, while Zoe is a flight paramedic and nurse. Our careers have shaped our values, resilience, and appreciation for teamwork, which has carried seamlessly into our relationship. When we’re not working long or unpredictable shifts, we’re usually at home with our dog, Remi, who keeps life entertaining and insists on being included in everything. Together, we’ve built a life grounded in mutual respect, humor, and showing up for one another—and we’re so excited to celebrate that with the people we love most.

Jeff proposed during a family trip to Virginia Beach. After a peaceful day spent walking along the shoreline, he got down on one knee in the sand. Surrounded by the love of family, the moment was simple, heartfelt, and absolutely perfect. Of course, Zoe said yes! It was a moment we’ll cherish forever.
