It all started with Christian's sister Serena visiting Minneapolis and meeting her college friend Alayna for coffee on a sunny October morning. After leaving coffee, Serena met up with her brother Christian for lunch on the same day. The idea crossed her mind "Alayna and Christian might be compatible" and she decided to share that separately with both of them. Over a year later, Christian and Alayna were both in Serena & Tanner's bridal party and finally met each other for the first time at the rehearsal dinner. By the end of the wedding, after seeing that they both love to dance and had natural chemistry in conversation, Christian decided he had enough reason to ask Alayna on a date. A few days later, what was supposed to be a simple dinner date ended up turning into an 8 hour first date at Amazing Thailand and Updown Arcade... followed by a 9 hour long second date... and a 12 hour long third date... it was never easier spending time around each other. Many more hours have been spent together since. The result? Deciding they wanted to have all the hours this lifetime offers together... and here they are today, getting married!
