Like many modern love stories, Christina and Max’s began on a dating app. They bonded over being bad texters, but thankfully managed to string together just enough conversation to set up a date. It must have gone well because, as Max loves to remind Christina, she enthusiastically scheduled their second date for just three days later. As fate would have it, they discovered on that very first date that Max was about to start working at the same company where Christina had been for years. And in a fun twist, they later realized their paths had nearly crossed before—Christina had once attended a tailgate at Max’s fraternity during his senior year of college, back when she had just moved to Austin. Maybe the universe had been nudging them together all along. Since then, they’ve built a life together—moving into their first apartment and welcoming their lovable pup, Murphy. Their biggest adventure yet? Getting engaged in beautiful Cancun, Mexico, on September 13, 2024. Now, they can’t wait to say "I do" almost exactly one year later, surrounded by all their favorite people!
