How We Met

It all started with a beer...

Yes that's right, we met in August 2015 at the Philadelphia Beer Mile! Nothing like a PBR and a mile run to get some sparks flying. In typical Ellen-fashion, she did lose her phone that night so it took her a few days to text Chris back about their first date. But after that we never looked back; 6 years later and we are so excited to tie the knot!

The Proposal

The one surprise Chris was able to keep...

After weeks of moving the ring around their one-bedroom apartment, Chris was ready to pop the question. It was an unusually warm December morning, when he suggested they go on a long walk and take a picture for Ellen's mom in front of the LOVE statue. The two set out for Washington Square - Ellen blissfully unaware, and Chris with the ring in his pocket. When the two arrived at the park, Chris and Ellen make their way to the fountain. Little did Ellen know, Chris had scoped out the exact spot he wanted to ask her to marry him a few weeks back. The two were in position and that's when Chris did it, he got down on one knee and opened the ring box UPSIDE DOWN! But that silly detail didn't matter at all, because Ellen said yes. And with that the adventure begins! We are so excited to share our special day with all of you.
