We met at the Marriott, and from the very beginning, there was something special. When Christi first saw Dana, she was instantly drawn to his beautiful smile. Dana felt the very same way about Christi. In that simple, unspoken moment, something special began. What started as long conversations at work quickly turned into something much deeper. Those talks became the foundation of our relationship, full of laughter, honesty, and connection. Our first date at Names and Faces left a lasting impression, and from that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. Once we started dating, we knew we never wanted to be apart. We found comfort in one another, joy in the little things, and a love that felt steady, effortless, and meant to be. From the beginning, our relationship has been grounded in our love for God. He has strengthened our bond, guided our journey, and kept us close over the last six years. Our faith, along with our shared values for family, friends, and standing firm in what we believe, has shaped how we love each other. Dana proposed on Christmas Eve in front of our closest family. We spent the rest of the night exploring Nashville, seeing Christmas lights, and celebrating with family. It was the happiest day of our lives. Now, we’re excited to continue life together with our little family, including our sweet Brownie, our first baby, our constant shadow, and the real boss of the house. This is us: rooted in faith, full of love and laughter, and so grateful for the journey God has written for us. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds.
