Jeffrey & Victoria met the first day of sixth grade, September 2006, in science class.
After being friends for nearly 6 years, the two had a close bond. And after months of so obviously crushing on each other, Jeff finally asked Tori to be his girlfriend, December 8th, 2010.
From homework, soccer, basketball, proms and everything in between the two were inseparable. True high school sweethearts. After high school graduation in 2013, Jeffrey decided to attend The University of Kentucky, while Tori stayed in New Jersey to continue working while commuting to Goldey-Beacom College. This put 619 miles between the two. Holidays, breaks, spontaneous trips, long drives, anxious flights, the two made every effort to continue growing their relationship despite the distance.
After college, Jeff moved back to New Jersey and the two started "adulting", working full-time fresh out of college. After college, the two enjoyed spending time together, and took quite a few trips to Kentucky, New Orleans, beach vacations and even went on a Caribbean cruise. They continued to work and save toward purchasing their first home together in 2021. After moving to Maryland, the two adjusted to the next chapter in their story.
Tori is the type of person who has Christmas cheer year-round, so Jeff kept that in mind when planning his proposal. The two decided to start an annual tradition attending Clark's Christmas Tree Farm to cut down their own tree. On December 4th, 2022, their second year looking for the perfect tree at Clark's, Jeff got down on one knee. Of course, Tori said yes! The two then went around the farm with a photographer to capture the moments immediately after the engagement. Upon arriving home, thinking they were dropping off the tree and heading to New Jersey to tell their families, Tori walked inside and both families were already there. They ate, had cake, and celebrated yet another new chapter in their life.
After nearly 13 years together, the two are finally becoming one. They are so excited to have you in attendance when they begin their happily ever after.
