Carmel Valley, California

His Story

Chris was born in Redding, raised in Cottonwood. Son of Dennis and Yvette. Brother of Stephanie and Derek. Avid golfer and sports enthusiast. Fortunate to find a way down to Pebble Beach to work as a caddie, which is the perfect combination for his love of golf. Now, getting to marry the woman that completes my life.

Her Story

Leslie was born in San Jose and raised in Monterey by a single mother. Oldest of ten cousins. Niece to six amazing aunts and uncles, and grandaughter to a few grandparents. Mother of two fur babies, Cooper and Gracie. She is a lover of nature, roadtrips, jumping rocks during low tide, and a visit to any zoo. She checked off her college degree goal from CSU Sacramento. Leslie moved back home to Monterey in 2014, met some new friends, and works with a specialty medical practice. She just happened to swipe right one day and found the perfectly opposit match to complete her.

How We Met

After a few weeks of talking to each other, we met by the aquarium, went for a very long walk together. The rest is history.

The Proposal

We typically go for walks after work, so that day was no different. We went to one of our usual spots just south of Carmel. Chris was extremely awkward so obviously something was up. Finally he got down on a knee and popped the question. Leslie said yes! That was one of the best moments anyone could ask for.
