It all began on a girls' night out in February 2024. Christine and her friends, Koscha and Bre, were at Whiskey Bottom in downtown Huntsville, Alabama - dancing, laughing, and living their best lives. On the way to the bar to grab more shots, Christine caught sight of a guy sitting by the pool table while his friends were playing nearby. Their eyes met. She kept walking… but something made her turn around. He was still looking. Then he gave her a little wave to come over. That guy was Carl. They exchanged just a few words, but she left with his number and followed him on Instagram that night (as any curious girl would). The next morning, she waited for a text that never came. Days passed. Still nothing. Carl stayed silent for two weeks… then, just before Valentine’s Day, he finally messaged her - and asked if he could be her Valentine. They planned a fancy dinner for their first date… or at least, that was the idea. Carl, bless his heart, hadn’t made a reservation anywhere. So the two of them ended up walking from one restaurant to the next through an outdoor strip mall, getting turned away at every stop. Eventually, Christine gave in with a smile and said, “I’m good with anything.” That “anything” turned out to be a casual little spot called Trashy Dawgs. To top it all off, when Carl ordered their food at the kiosk, he put in the name “Carl and Catherine.” (Christine’s name is definitely not Catherine.) Still, he showed up later that night with flowers - and that sweet, silly moment somehow became the start of something beautiful. From then on, they were inseparable. Not long after, they went to Topgolf with friends, and when Christine came home, she walked into a surprise. Her roommate Koscha had transformed the living room into a cozy setup with a tent, snacks, drinks, and games - all for her and Carl. They spent the night inside the tent playing hangman. The final phrase? “Will you be my girlfriend?” She said yes. And just like that, what started with a glance across a bar and a very mixed-up dinner date turned into the greatest love story they never saw coming- one full of laughter, surprises, and all the best kinds of forever. Now we're saying “I do” - and we’re so excited to celebrate it with you!
