Vow renewal and the party that should have been rescheduled for 9/17/2021!

21 years ago two young kids decided to try out a job at Outback Steakhouse. Christi was a host and Doug was a busboy. While they both knew the same people and worked together for years, their romance wouldn't spark until they had gone separate ways and lived very different lives. Thanks to still having a few mutual friends and technology (ie Facebook) they reconnected as friends comforting and sympathizing with each other over shared experiences and hardships. Their connection grew very rapidly and ran very deeply in only a few short months. Christi flew 1700 miles to see Doug in Florida in July of 2018 (where he was living at the time) and from that moment on they knew that they were meant to be together. Doug left warm sunny Florida only 3 short months later to move back to his home here in unpredictable Chicago. Finally together, they have begun to build a life and a home together that they only ever dreamed was possible. The best is yet to come.
