Karen & Doug = Bocce Merger!!


DC Bocce wants to highlight a profile of a real life bocce merger. Karen and Doug of Keefer Sharkerlands Bocce Predators met playing bocce on the Hill 3 years ago, and are expecting their first child due in October. Naming the child Bocce is still up for debate! Without further ado...

How did you meet?
K&D: We were the first two people from our team to arrive at Garfield Park on the first day of the 2008 summer bocce season. We had mutual friends on the team.

What was your bocce team name at the time?
K&D: Erin Go Bocce (although we changed our name during the season to Bad at Laundry).

What was your bocce t-shirt color at the time?
K&D: Light pink (hence the team name change; picture the reds getting mixed with the whites in the wash!)

What was your first date outside of bocce?
K&D: Doug accepted Karen's "Top Chef-like" challenge by cooking her a three-course meal at his apartment.

When did you know you were meant to be?
K&D: A couple of days after meeting, we went on separate vacations and couldn't stop thinking about each other.

When did you get married?
K&D: October 9, 2010

What are your suggestions for bocce players trying to find love?
K&D: Buy lots of pitchers at Pour House*
*Editor's Note: Did they mean for yourself or someone you are interested in?? Either way, try not to make an ass of yourself!

Congrats Karen and Doug on finding so much love through DC Bocce!
