How We Met
On July 3, 2020, Christina joined her friends for dinner at Urban Village Brewing Company in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties. That same night, Chris was just starting his shift when he was assigned to their table. From the moment he began taking her order, there was undeniable chemistry. Feeling bold, Christina took a chance—scribbling her Instagram handle on the back of the check before leaving. When Chris later cleared the table, he discovered her note and tucked it into his pocket. That night, when he got home, he reached out—and the rest is history!
