Our Story is only just getting started! After 28 years of LOVE and only not being together for less than 15 days of the 10,220 days since our first date. We are both excited and grateful for what tomorrow holds and the day after that, and the day after that. Our first date was May 13, 1994, Chris had his first Friday night off in weeks and was going to go up the mountains with a bunch of friends. As he was walking in the mall he bumped into Trisha, who was there to pick up an antenna for her new TV. We had met a few weeks earlier when she was a customer at the retail store that Chris was an Assistant Manager. Chris helped Trisha find an antenna and then walked her to her car. After 2 hours of talking in the parking lot at Valley Fair Mall, Chris had heard enough and said the following words to Trisha "Screw Dating we should just get Married" Trisha laughed yet was still happy to chat with Chris longer. Over 3 hours chatting in the parking lot Chris finally took Trisha to a movie. He followed her home where he met her Mom for the first time. Then we went and saw “When a Man Loves a Woman”. After the movie we went back to Chris’ house and talked for 3 more hours. Our Romance had begun! It took Chris 3 years to finally seal the deal, and we exchanged our vows for the first time on May 13, 1997. 3 years to the date of when Chris first asked Trisha to marry him. For the past 25 years we have built an amazing life together, yes we have had trials and tribulations however with each obstacle we faced them head on and grew stronger as a couple. We have 5 fantastic children whom we love very much and are excited to see their next chapter unfold as well. The LOVE that WE feel today for each other has grown through the years and we both are excited to celebrate with all of you on this milestone of LOVE & Abundance.
