Jeff and Krista met as Brandeis University Orientation Leaders in 2011. Was it the matching heinous, neon yellow t-shirts, or was it something deeper? Jeff loved Krista’s sense of humor and was impressed that she was studying three languages; Krista was excited that Jeff was like soOooO tall. In fact, Krista was eager enough to talk to Jeff that she stole his New England Patriots hat and wore it around for a night. (She will never, EVER wear any item of Patriots gear again so long as she may live so help her God.) As most college 'situationships' go, it fizzled out and they went their separate ways—Jeff abroad to London, Krista to Chicago for a year. They got drinks one more time in Waltham, but soon both went on their own adventures again—Jeff abroad to Spain, Krista to New York City. During this time, Krista told a friend that Jeff was the proverbial 'one who got away'. But don't worry people - this is a love story on a wedding website after all! #Boxtoli (trying it out) reconnected in 2016, when Jeff visited New York City on his return to the States. He posted on Facebook (a popular social network at the time) that he would be in Manhattan for the weekend, and encouraged local friends to reach out. Krista, ever the social butterfly, sent him a message. Jeff moved to New York two months later, and the rest is history.
