Christopher and Stephanie first met at Morrisville State College at a group bonding event for the architecture department. The two started talking and a friendship soon started to flourish. Both realized they had a lot in common and became best friends in a matter of days.

After signing for an apartment together, Stephanie and Christopher had been discussing the possibilities of spending the rest of their lives together. The discussions slowed as the new semester started and the couple tried to stay focused on their careers. However, once the semester ended, Stephanie started to drop hint after hint to see if Christopher was serious about things. Stephanie made an offhanded comment to Christopher that he wouldn't do it before the end of the year. Little did she know, Christopher made sure to propose the night before the end of the year. All that could be said was "about time".
