In the great winter of the year 2020, we began conversing on the app known as "Bumble". After many swiping events, we fatefully both swiped right, and thus our love was born. ....(saga continues below) We knew when we closed down the sushi restaurant on our first date that we were both in for a wild ride. The spark was immediate. Within the first few weeks, it became evident that swiping would no longer be necessary for either of us. What had once been Bri's dog, Zooey, nearly instantly became /our/ dog. We bought our first house together within the year, and things have only gotten better since. Despite Bri's often chaotic work schedule, our relationship has only grown stronger with time... and with Chris' amazing creme brulee! We knew this was forever, and that wedding venues had pesky things like waiting lists... So we decided to elope in January 2024, on a beach in Hawaii! Now, we're thrilled we can celebrate our love and excitement with our friends and family. We can't wait to see you there!
