Our story began on New Year's Eve (Eve) in 2006. We were both home from college for Winter break and Jon, Courtney's brother and Craig's high school friend, invited him over for a party at their house. Sorry Wes and Tracy, who only recently found out. When the party was running low on supplies, Courtney volunteered to join Craig on a walk to the nearby grocery store - what would turn out to be the first of a lifetime of walks together. After that night, we went our separate ways, but always managed to reconnect through the years. About once a year Craig would ask Courtney out on a date, to which she would accept but then begrudgingly call things off out of loyalty to her brother. Craig never shared her same sensibilities, but always respected her for it. After 7 years of first dates, we finally connected for good. Courtney says she waited because she knew when we finally gave it a chance it would be forever. Craig thinks 7 years of persistence was just how long it took. We've now been together for 4+ years and experienced some of life's happiest and saddest moments by each other's side. Together with our puppy child, Jasper, we're thrilled to be able to pronounce our commitment to one another in front of friends and family this year. Please join us as we turn to a new chapter in our never ending story. Courtney and Craig
