Christine and Chris first met while working together at Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant in 2013. Christine first caught Chris' eye when managers asked her to work a shift in the banquet department. Little did she know, this was the department where Chris worked. Chris, as his friends would call a "scrub," was too nervous to ask Christine out on a date even though the two could not be separated at work. One day, Christine decided to make a move. She trapped Chris in a corner by the registers and demanded he cough up his phone number. Of course, he gave his number up right away to her. But, this is where the story gets interesting. Because when Christine called Chris later that day, the number did not work. Christine's version of events is that Chris gave her a wrong number. Chris' version of events is that he gave Christine the correct number all along, but she was super nervous and fumbled her pen and wrote his number down wrong. In the end, they were able to connect and the rest is history! When Chris got into law school, the two moved to San Diego with their pups, Thor and Junebug. They lived in San Diego for six years before moving to Santa Barbara in 2021. Now, you can find Christine and Chris going for a walk along Shoreline Park with their pups or going on a hike at Lizard's Mouth. Chris proposed to Christine in Hawaii while out on a hike to a waterfall with friends. While waiting for their friends to take a picture of them near the waterfall, Chris got down on one knee and asked Christine to marry him. And she said yes! What Christine thought was a picture was actually a video recording and their friends were able to capture the entire moment. Christine and Chris can't wait to celebrate with you at their wedding ceremony and reception in September!
