But before the impromptu ceremony could commence, Aubrey said Jeff had to rush out to grab some food and nearly missed their “wedding.” Since they hadn’t informed anyone, the entire affair was a closely guarded secret, taking place in their backyard.
“I set up a really quick love altar in my yard — with mementos of our love, little stones, incense, fire, things like that,” she described the improvised setting. Aubrey humorously added that she couldn’t recall all the details precisely, but she was fairly certain it was legal.
However, their story, filled with laughter, creativity, and love, was brutally cut short when Jeff took his own life in January 2025. Although they didn’t have children, Aubrey had previously expressed her receptiveness to the idea of starting a family. Their 13-year connection was undeniable, a testament to the depth of their relationship that will be remembered by those who knew them.
