Steve & Jess met the old fashioned way on a dating site called "Coffee Meets Bagel". This was one of Steve's profile photos that caught Jess's eye ;-)

And this was one of Jess's profile photos that caught Steve's interest. Must have been the cute dog!

They went on lots of fun & active dates...rock climbing was one of our favorites!

On one date, Steve presented his entire PhD dissertation to Jess! She was very impressed.

Jess & Steve learned they could really tear up a wedding dance floor together...

& Jess was ULTRA impressed with Steve's dance moves!

Happy New Year!

After 10 months of dating, they entered their first pandemic together. CrossFit became a regular way to pass the time!

They played lots of games...some were a bit complex. Jess always did her best to learn all the rules!

Steve knows that Jess needs at least 3 apple orchard trips per fall season!

Donuts included

Michigan is a frequent weekend getaway - especially during the pandemic!

Always up for adventures with friends!

Although they don't own a dog, Steve & Jess have at least 8-9 dog nieces & nephews they they watch throughout the year. They all prefer Steve :)

Trip to Sweden!

And Denmark!

Steve and Jess got engaged in Geneva, Illinois

He proposed on the riverwalk after ice cream!

We love our families so much!

and we are so excited to celebrate our wedding day with all of you!

Love, Steve & Jess
