“I was in our beautiful home state of New Jersey and Christopher was all the way in Georgia on a work trip. I was tired of dating and going on awful dates. In March of 2023, I saw a picture of a guy and little did I know he was going to be my future husband. When I saw his picture in a black suit and a red tie I thought “he is cute, I do love a man with a beard." I decided to go out on a date with Chris, even though I vowed to not date for a while. He brought me to Ruth's Chris for our first date. When ordering he said the best steak was medium rare. Personally, I did not know the difference but I found that for once I was actually enjoying a first date. I think it was the passion about how I was eating steak wrong my entire life, and I have always ordered it medium rare ever since. We kept going out and we fell in love. Now look at us, we are getting married! We are two less fish in the sea and couldn’t be happier!” -Carly “Three days before flying home from Atlanta in April 2023, I was lying in my hotel bed, making one last attempt to meet someone real, someone I could build a life with. That’s when I saw a picture of Carly. I didn’t know it then, but I was looking at my future wife. Before I even boarded the plane, I had set a date at Ruth’s Chris, one of my favorites from traveling. When I landed, I got ready and felt more nervous than usual. I’d been on first dates before, but this one felt different. Two years later, through memories, challenges, and everything in between, I know I found her. Carly, my soon-to-be wife. Maybe it was fate. Maybe I just got lucky. Finally, We are getting married!” -Christopher
