Ivan and Chrissy met at a work holiday party for the local pub Chrissy was bartending at in 2015, and Ivan was immediately smitten. Following their introduction, Ivan came into the bar everyday that Chrissy was working for 2 years straight. It was when Ivan didn't show up at the bar for one of Chrissy's shifts, that she realized she too had feelings for him. On May 20th, 2017 Chrissy invited Ivan to come to a local festival with her, and the rest was history! They have spend almost every day together since, eventually making a beautiful home together, and traveling the world whenever possible. Their love grows stronger everyday.
Ivan proposed to Chrissy on February 24, 2019, & she said yes! The proposal was very special because Ivan proposed to Chrissy in the middle of the pond where he grew up ice skating, and where the two of them have formed many special memories together over the years. Ivan's mom and dad were there to witness the special moment, as well as Chrissy's best friend Scott.
