Christian and Betsy first met a long time ago in the halls of Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School. What started out as a friendship turned into a relationship by the end of senior year. However, that relationship was short lived and they soon lost touch after starting college. They both had gone their own ways, and Betsy even moved cross country to Connecticut! But even distance couldn't keep them apart. Through social media, Christian reconnected with Betsy and they began talking again. In December of 2016 they met up for a drink when Betsy was home visiting family for the holidays. And the rest was history.
Four years after Christian and Betsy reconnected, he took her back to where it all began. After having lunch together, he insisted on dropping by his parents house to pick up a few things. Little did Betsy know that he had much more planned. Upon their arrival, Christian took Betsy out to the back patio which was decorated with beautiful winter greens and champagne waiting to be popped. It was there that Christian asked Betsy to be his forever and she said yes!
