Our Story Christopher and Chris met in March 2018, with Christopher in Bensonhurst and Chris in Washington Heights. Their first date at Dallas BBQ’s included pulled pork for Christopher and ribs for Chris—perhaps not the best first date meal, but Christopher enjoyed every moment with him. They ended the night at their favorite Hell’s Kitchen bar, Mickey Spillanes, and instantly hit it off. From then on, they spent weekends together, going on dates, meeting each other’s friends, and attending family parties. Their connection was undeniable, and everyone could feel it when they were together. By the end of 2021, they moved in together in Christopher's Brooklyn apartment. Their relationship continued to blossom, and in 2022, they bought their first house in Sayreville, NJ. The move was a big change—Chris had his family and friends in Manhattan, and Christopher worked in Brooklyn—but they adjusted, learning to balance work, family, and their growing love for each other. In November 2023, Christopher took the next big step. During their annual Friendsgiving celebration, Christopher secretly arranged for a surprise proposal. He invited all their closest friends and family, set up a romantic backdrop with rose petals and candles, and kept Chris out of the house long enough for everyone to get ready. When they arrived, Chris was greeted by at least 25 loved ones, and Christopher dropped to one knee to propose with a beautiful ring. Needless to say, Chris said yes! Now, they’re excitedly planning the biggest moment of their lives and preparing for the best night ever on August 15, 2025.
