Seasons 52, a bottle of wine, and tree limbs – oh my! Who knew these 3 things would be the makings of our first date?

And who would’ve guessed we’d be here after becoming acquainted 20 years ago – our mutual connection Alex. 😊

After Jeff moved back to Tampa in 2022, we reconnected on Facebook. Jeff sent a chance direct message to Jonathan, who of course, checked in first with our friends to be sure he wasn’t a catfish!

After 6 months of messaging, Jeff finally had his fill and asked Jonathan, “Are we going to meet or not?” So in October 2022, they planned their first in-person meeting – a dinner date at Season’s 52.

When Jonathan arrived for dinner, he noticed a car was in his favorite parking space. And the car was ironically identical to his! Out walks Jeff with a bottle of wine in tow!

Jonathan thought, “Who brings a gift on the 1st date?” He’s either a nice guy or is this payment for all the tree limbs he tasked me to collect for his Christmas tree?! LOL

The night was full of good energy and great conversation. We felt like we had known each other forever!

And now here we are – planning our big day! We’re so excited and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
