Our story began September 2006, junior year at C.D. Hylton Senior High School in Woodbridge, Virginia. A shared interest in track and field brought us together as teammates and during that year, Chris had stolen Erin's heart and ran with it. You could say our first 'real' date, watching 'The Hills Have Eyes' while sharing a bag of Combos, was ANYTHING but romantic, but it didn't matter. We were young and already enchanted by love's spell. All the laughs and stolen kisses thereafter were enough for us to make our love official in June 2007. Life found ways of separating us; whether it was by attending different colleges or moving to another state, we always found our way back to each other. Then June 2015, Chris gave Erin the biggest surprise of her life. Erin planned to have their friends and family gather for what she thought was to be a cookout for Chris's birthday. Little did she know that Chris had a plan of his own. While they all came together for a group photo, Chris got down on one knee, professed his undying love for Erin and presented her with a ring. Now, after an 11+ year marathon together through life, we have remained teammates, best friends, lovers and now, in front of family and friends, will finally be united as one.
