ove was in the air when Jason and Darcy met at Sunday night tennis at Sylvan Tennis Club. After learning that she was a teacher, Jason took Darcy to the Schoolhouse at Cannondale for their first date, and they soon became a couple. A year and a half later, the pair, along with Jason’s daughters Maria and Maddie, went for a walk at Compo Beach, where Jason proposed on the jetty. They then went to celebrate at Vespa, where their extended families were waiting for them. The memorable night wrapped up with a concert at the Levitt Pavilion. Pastor Danny Hammons officiated the ceremony at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, Connecticut, where a reception followed. Maria and Maddie played their violins before the ceremony began, and unity sand was used during the ceremony to represent the coming together as a family. Darcy is the daughter of Wilma Shoop of Rocky Hill and Randy Shoop of West Hartford, Connecticut. She has her master’s degree in elementary education and works in the Fairfield Public Schools as a language arts specialist. Jason is the son of Andrew Stiber of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and the late Irene Stiber. He holds an MBA and a master’s degree in engineering and works at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford as an engineering manager. The couple honeymooned in Athens and Santorini, Greece. They call Westport home. W
