Shortly after Christi moved to Denver, she and Jake met for drinks through a mutual friend from John’s Island. They uncovered several meaningful connections and immediately felt at home with one another. It was a match from the jump. The pair dated for two years prior to their engagement. They had just bought a home together in Washington Park and the moment the movers drove away, Jake got down on one knee on the front porch. Friends gathered at their new home shortly after the proposal to celebrate.
Dr. and Rev. Anna Copeland officiated at the ceremony at John’s Island in Vero Beach, Florida. The most memorable moment of the night for the couple was exchanging their own vows. There was not a dry eye in the house.
The bride, daughter of Glenn and Ginger DeSimone of Vero Beach, graduated from Greenwich Academy, Westminster School and Georgetown University. She is currently attending the University of Denver to receive a doctorate in psychology. Christi is a therapist in Denver.
The groom, son of John and Karen Klopp of New York, graduated from Brunswick School and the College of Charleston, and is attending the University of Denver to receive his master’s in real estate development. Jake works in real estate in Denver.
The newlyweds are planning to go on safari in South Africa in the fall. They live in Denver.
