It all began March of 2021!
Deric and Jen began their love story in March of 2021.
Just when the pandemic threw a wrench in their search for love, they both signed up on the dating website, Hinge. Deric was waiting for Jen for a bit, but when Jen created her profile, she was able to connect with him after five matches. After checking all of his boxes, Deric took the first step and asked Jen out on a date. They met up on March 21 at Urban Roots Brewery in Sacramento. They shared a lot of funny stories about their dating lives and enjoyed each others company. Although the butterflies were’t flying just yet, they texted with each other over the next few weeks and agreed to go on a second date. They met at Fountainhead Brewery and shared a big pretzel and had a couple drinks. Deric forgot he had a fantasy baseball draft that night so he asked Jen if his friend could join them so they could draft their winning team. After Jen agreed, she was able to meet Brandon, Deric’s best friend / best man. Their love of sports bonded Deric and Jen together even though their sports teams are the biggest rivals. After an amazing second date, they shared their first kiss together. After a few more dates, Deric asked Jen to be his girlfriend on April 25.

Once the new couple announced their relationship, their friends and families were very excited and couldn’t wait to watch this couple grow and share the memories. They spent time in Apple Hill, the Sacramento River and attended many sporting events.
Their new relationship was really blooming and it was time for them to go on their first trip. They decided to travel to Chicago and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin to meet Jen’s family. Jen showed Deric the beauty of Lake Geneva from the boat rides, hikes and the lovely midwestern rain storms. Another trip they took was to Los Angeles for Deric’s birthday. They attended their first MLB game at Dodgers Stadium. Jen supported her man by wearing blue, but made a custom shirt stating she was there to support her boyfriend even though she’s a Giants fan. They also attended their first NFL game at SoFi Stadium. |

Their love grew over the next year and a half. Deric knew Jen was the one for him. He knew he wanted to make the next step, but he had to make it memorable and unique. He put a plan together to ask the big question in a place where hundreds of people, along with the most important people to the both of them, were going to be witnesses. On October 29, 2022, Deric told Jen his parents got tickets to the Sacramento Kings game. After telling Jen they were going to “help his dad’s friend take a boat out of the river”, Deric took his dad and Brandon to the Golden One Center to rehearse. Meanwhile, Jen and the moms met the boys at a restaurant before the game and enjoyed some food and drinks.

Shaking off his nerves, it was time to head into the stadium. Deric and Jen’s seats were separated from the others and they were seated behind the basket. During the 3rd quarter, an employee walked up to the couple and stated they have been selected to do an in-game promotion. Jen was very nervous as she never did anything like that before. They agreed and walked to the other side of the court and got the run-down. They were going to play Connect-four at the next timeout. When it was time, they ran out to the middle of the court and started to play. Jen ended up winning after she threw all her basketballs in the Connect Four board. Her prize was Deric getting down on a knee on the Jumbotron asking for her hand. The crowd was cheering after Jen said yes!
