Our Story:
Summer of 2018 ~ Tanji frequently traveled to Eagle, CO, to visit her uncle Steve (aka GoGo) and Amy. They couldn’t help but notice the potential chemistry between Jeff and Tanji and thought they would make a perfect match. A double date was arranged to go zip lining in Wolcott, CO, and despite an exhilarating day, the stars didn’t seem to align quite yet. Jeff and Tanji were very content with their independent lifestyles- or so they thought. Little did they know God had a different plan in store.
July 2021 ~ Flash forward three years, Jeff and Tanji crossed paths again at Frost Creek, sparking a reconnection, and they’ve been together ever since! Despite the distance between Castle Rock and Eagle, they’ve cherished every moment together, making the most of their long-distance relationship. And it wasn’t just Tanji that Jeff fell for- her beloved pets, aka her zoo, captured his heart too. From Ruby, the dog, to Nokey and Pepé, the cats, and even Marley, the bird, Jeff couldn't resist their charm, even if he was hesitant to admit it at first.
May 8th, 2023 ~ In a picturesque moment at Salt Pond Beach in Kauai, Jeff popped the question to Tanji, and her joyful "yes" echoed along the shore! Following a heartfelt engagement, they're now gearing up to celebrate their love with their nearest and dearest this September. Get ready to dance the night away—it's going to be magical!Tidbits:
