Our story started long before we even knew it would… Back when Rachel was just 16, Chris first saw her while she was working at McDonald’s. Life went on, as it does, and the two went their separate ways—but as fate would have it, that wasn’t the end of their story. Fast forward 10 years later, Chris reached out with a simple (and very smooth) offer-to put Christmas lights on Rachel’s house… for free. What started as a kind gesture quickly turned into something so much more. They began spending more and more time together—singing their hearts out at karaoke, laughing over the little things, and quickly becoming inseparable. Somewhere between the music, the late nights, and all the laughter, they realized they had found something truly special. On June 15, 2024, they officially made it “us,” and from that moment on, life just felt right. A little over a year later, on July 11, 2025, Chris asked Rachel to spend forever with him—and of course, she said yes. Now, here they are, getting ready to start their next chapter together. What began as a chance encounter, then a second chance, has turned into a love story neither of them saw coming—but one they wouldn’t change for the world. And it all started with a glance… and a set of Christmas lights!
