welcome to Jeff and Lisa's wedding website                                             FEBRUARY 24, 2007

Her Version:

Lisa was enjoying the single life with her girlfriends before Jeff came her way. Yes, its true, after some prompting from a close, unnamed friend <okay, whatever….it was Jessalyn> she wrote a profile on a local dating website and a short time later accepted a smile from a particularly charming and interesting guy named Jeff. It turned out that we only lived about 5 minutes away from each other and had one too many things in common to ignore! Jeff’s got a good summary of our first couple of dates but I think what really got his attention was when I excitedly accepted his date to go see a Vancouver Canadians baseball game so that I could impress him with all the stuff I knew about baseball after having spent my entire youth at baseball parks watching my dad and brothers play since I was 5 years old. I’d say we had pretty good chemistry from the start and moreover, I felt that I was patriotically serving my country by improving international relations by dating an American! Jeff made me laugh on our very first date and he hasn’t stopped since…

His Version:

The first correspondence was a couple of e-mails, she was very playful.  The second correspondence was a phone call, her voice was sexy. 

The first date was on August 28th, 2004.  We met at the Chevron at Cambie and W. 16th, the price of unleaded was 86.8 c/L that day.  We proceeded onto the Keno Cafe where we chatted, ate, drank, and listened to live flamenco.  I thought as I stared at her from across the table that she could be the one. 

The second date was Ben Kweller at Richards on Richards.  We met at the venue and brought friends for support.  She leaned against me that night while listening to the music.

The third date was practicing with her ultimate team. 

The fourth date was a Vancouver Canadians game, a girl from Canada not only knowing baseball but liking it, what a dream come true.  We kissed for the first time that night outside of her place, it was short but sweet.

The fifth date was watching a Zombie movie at her place.  I impressed her by eating a glob of wasabi.

The sixth date was dinner at The Reef on Main Street.  We were embarrassed as we ran into friends at the restaurant.  That night I was right and she was wrong about a pool hall being located down the street, the 1st of many me right her wrong.

The seventh date was the end of the year ultimate party at Mo Butta.  We partied like it was 2004...because it was.        

..and the rest is history...
