We're getting married!

They met outside of The Bricks in Ybor. Chris was with his skate friends and Carly was with her colleagues, both enjoying a post-shift happy hour. He approached her to inquire if she had any change he needed for parking but continued to engage in conversations about music and movies, discovering they shared a lot of common interests. Carly's friend tried to be sneaky and take a picture of the two of them talking . . . but the flash was on! He asked her if she wanted a picture with him. She laughed and told him "No!" They've been taking pictures together ever since.

Chris was planning a trip to Ft. Desoto, where the two usually go to unwind and watch the sunset. The night before they left it was cold and rainy day in November. Carly was anticipating that he would change his mind so they could stay home and sleep in. That next morning he had everything packed up and ready to go . . . they were still going. Once they got there it turned out to be a beautiful day! Twenty minutes after they arrived Chris, feeling anxious and not being able to wait one second longer, proposed.
