Amy Schneider and Genevieve Davis announced they secretly married earlier this year after Schneider made history becoming the second-most winning contestant on “Jeopardy!”
The game show champion revealed the couple had an intimate ceremony at the clerk’s office in Oakland, California, in May. She shared a few photos from her wedding day with her millions of fans online.
“A year ago today, I was in LA, waiting to fulfill a dream,” Schneider tweeted. “The year since has been full of good days, but by far the best one was May 9th, when Genevieve and I got married.”
Schneider and Davis were spotted in Los Angeles in February shortly after Amy decided to quit her day job as a software engineer following her major success on the ultimate trivia quiz show.
