We first met each other at a Halloween Party in 2021, hosted by our mutual friend, Seema Hoover (Maid of Honor) and her husband Paul. Lyle was dressed as Freddie Mercury that night and Cristina was dressed as Princess Leia. We had our first date soon after. We met for coffee in Leesburg, Virginia and went on a hike by the Potomac River. We found out we were both Floridians, Lyle from Tallahassee and Cristina from Miami! We also both graduated from Florida State University (go Noles!). We discovered we enjoyed each other's company, and our relationship began to bloom. Cristina was living in Alexandria, Virginia and Lyle was a long time resident of Winchester, Virginia. The following year, Cristina was elated to join living with Lyle and sweet Cooper the doggy in Winchester, which is located in the Shenandoah Valley. We chose Leesburg for the location of our wedding since Leesburg is where our relationship began. We appreciate all of the love and support from our friends and family, and we are thrilled to celebrate our union with you!
