Brooke was living in Knoxville, TN at the time. Little did she know that she’d soon meet the man she’d one day marry! Christopher drove 10 hours from Lebanon, MO to Knoxville to meet Brooke and take her on their first date to K Brew Coffee and they hit it off immediately. They spent hours talking and getting to know each other. They connected so well that what was supposed to only be a day turned into an entire weekend of spending time together. By the time Christopher left to go back to Missouri, Brooke had a boyfriend and Christopher a girlfriend. (When you know you know ;)). Now after a year and some months of lots of airplane rides, they can’t wait to begin this new chapter.
It couldn’t have been more perfect. Christopher completely surprised me with a beautiful proposal in front of the HaHa Tonka castle ruins (that his father helped rebuild). We were surrounded by our family, he surprised me by flying my mom and dad to help celebrate. It was the most perfect day.
