Gianna and Chris grew up in the same town and even went to the same high school. They ran in similar circles—he played baseball, she played softball, and they both shared the volleyball court at one point or another. But with Chris being two years older, their paths never quite aligned. They knew of each other, but never really spoke. Life moved on, and after Chris graduated, they went their separate ways. Fast forward a few years to Gianna’s junior year of college. Out of the blue, a Snapchat friend request popped up—from none other than Chris. She hadn’t heard from him in years (and truthfully hadn’t thought about him either), but curiosity kicked in. From that one request came casual conversations, then playful banter… and soon, Chris found himself trying to win her over. Gianna played hard to get—but Chris was persistent, charming, and determined. He slowly but surely wore her down, and eventually, she agreed to a first date during Thanksgiving break that November. Chris showed up with flowers in hand and even ordered baked clams—despite the fact that he really doesn’t like them—just to impress her. That night turned into the start of something neither of them expected. And now, nearly six years, two dogs, and a whole lot of memories later… here they are, getting ready to say “I do.”
