Chrissy and Pete’s story began at an event, where Pete’s friend swore Chrissy was looking at him like he was a piece of candy. Chrissy remembers seeing Pete that night—but she does not remember the candy. Over the next few times they crossed paths, they exchanged little more than a hello. Pete claims he wasn’t giving her a second thought, but a little harmless social media sleuthing says otherwise. Eventually, he found her profile and sent a request. Chrissy took three days to accept his request—a detail Pete will never let her live down. Then the world turned upside down. As the pandemic shut everything down, Pete and Chrissy began chatting, and soon those casual messages turned into nightly conversations. When Chrissy’s 40th birthday plans were canceled, she invited Pete to join her for a walk in the park. That walk turned out to be the real start of their story. Five years later, in that very same park, Pete got down on one knee and asked Chrissy to marry him. This time, she didn’t wait three days to say yes.
