On Christmas Eve 2016, Lisa came home from work unexpectedly early. Being excited to celebrate the Eve with family and friends, Chris and Lisa decided to exchange a gift each before heading out. After opening her present, Lisa looked to Chris to thank him. Chris was standing in their apartment, next to the Christmas tree, with the engagement ring and box open. He then got down on one knee and asked Lisa "to spend the rest of her life with him." Of course, she said yes!

Since Lisa's favorite season is the fall, she always dreamed of a wedding during this time. Collectively we wanted a Catholic ceremony, but Chris always envisioned it at the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, with its grand facade. We especially cannot wait to celebrate afterwards at The Downtown Club, which over looks the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall - located only a few blocks away from where we currently live. We will dine with Cescaphe Event Group and dance all night to The Sid Miller Dance Band!
