They met Freshman year of college at Loyola, living on the same dorm floor. But it wasn’t until their Senior year when Rachel and Jeff realized they both always liked each other.

During those four years, they became friends, and spent time studying together at coffee shops.

And then on Valentine’s Day during their senior year, both single, they finally opened up about their mutual feelings for each other and began dating soon after.

“Jeff makes me a better person; calmer, happier,” said Rachel. “He truly is that piece that has been missing in my life, and they only person I can see myself becoming old and gray with.”

I’m so excited for their 2016 wedding at the Mt. Washington Dye Mill House!

Congratulations Rachel and Jeff!
