How We Met

December 9th, 2009

We met working at the Chart House in Lake Tahoe in 2009. Chris was asked to come be the stand in chef for a month, as the chef at the time was injured. Whitney was working at the Chart House as the catering sales manager. Towards the end of Chris' time in Tahoe we were both at Mott Canyon one night, (Mott was the after work hang out for the Chart House crew) and they ended up talking and having a few cocktails. At the end of the night Chris offered to walk Whitney out to her car. We had our first kiss that night and went our separate ways. A few days late we had our first date in the Heavenly Village. We went to Fire and Ice for dinner and to a movie. We spent the next week enjoying our time together and even got a little extra time, as the day Chris was scheduled to fly out there was a big storm and his flight was canceled. Eventually Chris had to go back home to Alexandria. We dated off and on for 2 years long distance but agreed it wouldn't work out living so far away! Years passed and we kept in touch at times, happy birthday texts and Facebook messages but nothing serious. In fall of 2018 Chart House was again looking for a chef. Whitney messaged Chris to tell him that now was his chance if he wanted to move to Tahoe. (Chris had expressed previously that he loved Tahoe and would absolutely move to Tahoe if ever given the opportunity). Chris immediately reached out to start his transfer here. We were just friends at this time and had no intention of getting back together, it was a purely working relationship. Jokes on us...Chris moved from Annapolis to Tahoe in 2019 . After a week of working together Whitney asked Chris to come down to Gardnerville to have dinner at the JT, for old time sake! Chris agreed and after dinner in the parking lot when they were leaving ways we had our first kiss....round 2! The rest is history! On October 28th, 2021 at Ken and Kathy's (Chris' Parents) house in New York, Chris asked Whitney to marry him...she said yes. Sometimes we can't believe our story and how we made it here! 14 years in the making..... We are so excited to share this next chapter with you!

For all the days along the way
