Philip and Krista met for the first time while wandering the winding cobblestone streets of Prague in the Czech Republic. It took only a few days of exploring the city and getting to know each other before Philip asked Krista on their first date. They spent the night drinking Czech beer and talking about all the adventures that they planned to have while abroad, little did they know the biggest adventure of their lives was just beginning... Flash forward a few months: After exploring every street market Prague had to offer, dancing through Prague night clubs, and traveling to Austria and Poland together the two were inseparable. When it came time to head back to the states they decided--against all odds--to continue dating long distance from Australia/Arizona, where Philip was heading, to Madison, where Krista was off to. One year, two undergraduate degrees, and many AirtranU standby flights later, the two of them decide to move to Washington, DC to begin building a life together. After six years, eight apartments, nine international trips, and two sets of very eager parents, Philip popped the question on his 28th birthday, surrounded by both sides of their wonderfully supportive family. Months after deciding to get hitched the pair moved to Chicago and bought a condo just in time to begin wedding planning.
