Christen & Kris met shortly after Christen moved to Wilmington. Christen's brother, Alex, introduced them and after a few times hanging out as friends, Kris asked Alex if he could take Christen on a date and the rest is history.
On a trip to Boone together, Christen & Kris showed up to a beautiful garden oasis for their Airbnb. Naturally, Christen made a joke that this would have been the perfect place to propose. Little did she know, Kris had the ring hidden in the car, planning to propose on this trip at one of their favorite spots they visited on a previous trip to Shady Valley, Tennessee. After seeing how much Christen loved the garden, Kris decided this would be the perfect spot instead and on the third day, Kris got down on one knee - the easiest Yes of their lives! If the proposal wasn't special enough, Kris surprised Christen with both of their parents later that night for dinner.
