Chris and Ever met during the first week of college at OSU, but their story truly began a few months later. In November, they kept finding themselves at the gym at the same time, which led to them spending more and more time together. Chris was drawn to her optimistic spirit and the way she seemed to light up every room. What began as simple, shared moments quickly turned into something more. Ever could not ignore the connection she felt with Chris. He made her laugh effortlessly and brought joy and excitement into her everyday life. More than that, he took the time to truly know her, listening to her thoughts, valuing her perspective, and showing he cared about the little things that made her who she is. It did not take long for Chris to realize Ever was special. He admired her caring heart, her creativity, and her thoughtfulness. From the beginning, Ever saw in Chris someone adventurous, driven, and deeply considerate. Nearly three years later, Chris proposed at Blue River, Tishomingo, a place that perfectly reflects their shared love for the outdoors and time spent in nature. Ever had no idea what was coming. What began as a simple walk turned into a moment she will never forget, as Chris carried her over the water before getting down on one knee and asking her to spend forever with him. Today, Chris and Ever have built a life that feels natural and balanced, where their personalities and strengths complement each other in the best ways. They look forward to a future filled with adventure, travel, growing in their faith, and creating a lifetime of meaningful memories together.
