Jennifer is a copywriter and Jeff is a basketball coach and personal trainer.
     They met at the wedding of Jeff's brother and Jennifer's college roommate. It was a magical day. Jennifer says Jeff smiled at her and she knew. Jeff says the first night he met her he didn't want her to leave — ever.
     On their third date, they went out for dinner. About five minutes into their conversation, while waiting for a table, Jeff fell to the ground in cardiac arrest. They spent the rest of the evening and many other nights in the hospital, and a few months later Jeff was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia. He is now fine and has a defibrillator in his chest.
     Sharing their marriage proposal, Jennifer says that Jeff went to get the ring, planning to give it to her on an upcoming trip to Mexico. But, she says he lasted about an hour before he caved in and had to do it. They took a walk in a nearby park — and after discussing their love for each other — Jeff popped the question. Jennifer says after he asked, she looked at him in shock, not sure if he had really asked or not, but, she explains, "I of course, said yes."
     Their idea of a fun Saturday together includes mountain biking and spending time at the beach, hitting a favorite restaurant for fresh seafood, a DVD, an ice cream cone and some time to relax at home.

Of course, all wedding flowers should be romantic, but the “Romantic” style typically begs for rich reds and burgundies, mixed flowers, different textures and maybe a touch of Medieval design. You can use ornate metal urns or upright, tall arrangements that have a candelabra feel. ZeZé chose to go with blues and lavenders as the main colors for his arrangements, with highlights of passionate pinks and watermelon tones. Of course, romantic almost always means red, so he’s added a few light touches of oranges and reds. For the bridal bouquet, the primary flowers are roses, hydrangea, clematis, orchids and wild sweet pea. The container for the centerpiece is porcelain, with a mixed arrangement of various flowers to emphasize a whimsical approach to romance.
