We met alllll the way back in high school at Cox Mill in Concord, NC. We became best friends but never dated until college. After realizing that our lives were going in different directions…Chris staying in NC and Kara moving to FL after graduation, we decided to stay friends. Fast forward to 2021, I convinced Chris to be my date to a wedding in Texas and spend the weekend there. Fast forward again to May of 2022 where I convinced Chris yet again to spend the weekend with me, this time in FL. We spent our time at the Disney parks where I shared my first turkey leg with him at Magic Kingdom! When he went back home to NC, I kept begging him to move to FL because I missed him so much. Well, November of that same year…he made the move! He proposed to me on December 6th, 2023 when we were taking our Christmas card photos with our 3 dogs in Downtown Winter Garden. I was totally not expecting it but it was so perfect! We are so excited to celebrate our marriage with friends, family, (and of course the dogs) by our side this October.
