The Beginning

Jeff and I met while we were attending the University of Kansas (home of the Kansas Jayhawks) in 1989. We both worked at the local frozen yogurt shop [TCBY]. I had been working there for about 3 months before Jeff walked in the door, filled out an application, and accepted a job as the "Yogurt Dispenser King!" Little did we know that would be the day to mark history! I was initially attracted to his stunning blue eyes and then discovered, that beauty is far greater than what is on the surface--he had much to offer besides his looks!!!


The Groom

Jeff is orginally from Omaha, NE. He graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He is a Manager with Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group in Kansas City, MO. He plays the drums in a band called "Tin Roof Echo." He travels quite a bit so his weekends usually consist of home maintenance projects!


The Bride

Shelly is originally from Junction City, KS. I graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I am a Marketing Representative for IntelliMark. I have recently participated as a coach for special olympics in a variety of activities, now I am the Wedding Coordinator!


The Engagement

Jeff surprised me with a trip to Disneyworld in Orlando, FL May 30, 1997! He flew in from Athens, GA where he had been on assignment and I flew in from Kansas City. My plane was originally cancelled so I caught a later flight which (finally) brought me into Orlando at 5:00pm. We had a great time Friday night having dinner at Tia's Mexican Restaurant and then off to bed for our big day at Disneyworld on Saturday. I had never been to Florida so Jeff was going out of his way to make this trip extra nice and special! After a long day at Disneyworld, around 6pm, Jeff pulled me into a quaint, beautiful garden area, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him....I was totally surprised! Of course I accepted, that is why we are here today! I had learned that Jeff was looking for a romantic moment to propose, but weather and amusement rides did not allow that to happen! When we got back to the hotel room, there were a dozen red roses waiting for me and dinner was on the way.

Hotel Accommodations


The Honeymoon

We toured Switzerland for a week by bus, then took a cruise touring Italy (Genoa, Naples, Palermo), Tunisia (Tunis), Spain (Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona) and France (Marseille)...We met wonderful people, had lots of food, took many pictures/videos and spent a lot of money! It was truly a honeymoon of a lifetime!
