Finally!

They started as mutual friends freshman year of high school, but slowly bonded over anime, video games, and movies in Mr. Peters’ class. He realized that she was kind of cute, but it took a few tries (and a gentle nudge in the right direction from friends) before she agreed to go out with him. After a few semi-disastrous dates and a handful of years making the long distance thing work, it became obvious to basically everyone that this was legit and they were going to spend their lives together no matter what. It only took 12 years, but Chris and Arielle are ready to make it official, and they’re excited to share the day with their family and friends!
