In 2009 Chris and Cat worked side by side during the opening of the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain. He was the front desk manager and she was the valet manager. Together they worked as a team to ensure the first impression of every guest was perfect while not realizing the impression they were having on each other. This work relationship went on for nearly 3 years and in 2012 Chris and Cat started spending more time together outside of work. Chris tried pursuing Cat as more than a friend but she wasn't having it. After a couple years of dating Chris found out that Cat orginally did not want to date him because she thought he was too short for her. It became a joke between them and is now a highlight of their love story. Chris got the last laugh. He says he won and Cat doesn't disagree because for the past 8 years she has always looked up to him.
