In the fall of 2020 we connected on Hinge. Jeff was attracted to Monica's picture of her grilling meat and Monica was impressed by Jeff’s famous broken ankle dance. Despite Jeff’s over the top patriotic pictures, she gave him a chance.

They met in the height of Covid at Working Class in San Diego. Even though it was a strange time needing to wear masks on the first date they still enjoyed onion rings while watching the World Series. After an awkward side hug from Jeff at the end of the date, Monica wasn’t sure if Jeff would want a second date. She was wrong.

Over the course of the last 4.5 years, we have created amazing memories together. We explored New York, hiked in Sedona, played in the snow in Palm Desert, and had many other great adventures. Whether it’s trips around the country, exploring San Diego, or quiet nights at home there is nothing we love more than time together.

We both share the common value of our deep love of time spent with our close friends and family. Spending our wedding day with all of you means the world to us, and we can’t wait to create unforgetting moments with all of you on August 23rd (not the 25th Pitchford)!
