Will and Cristina officially met during the summer of 2016 at Camp Abilities Long Island, a sports camp for visually impaired athletes where they both still volunteer today. That summer was Will's first year and Cristina's third. During the closing ceremony, Cristina stood in the back of the room and unknowingly fell in love with her future husband as she watched Will get emotional while delivering a speech about his athlete. The genuineness and rawness of his vulnerability had her hooked before she even realized it. He ran out of the room afterward, and Cristina made sure to follow so she could tell him, "That is how you know you'll come back for life," hoping he would return the following summer. Needless to say, he did. Will amped up the charm—flashing his long lashes and cute smile—while patiently and respectfully waiting for Cristina to notice. She noticed, but for a while, they remained "camp friends." By the summer of 2018, Will and Cristina began talking well before the season started, moving past their standard annual camp conversations to truly get to know one another. Between secret flirting when no one was looking and randomly asking their friend (the camp director) if she’d approve of them dating, they were cautious. The director’s response was: "If you do, you’d have to get married and never break up, because we can’t afford to lose either one of you!" That challenge created the perfect foundation for a relationship built on complete honesty; neither wanted to ruin the very thing that had brought them together. Eight years and many pets later, Will and Cristina have created endless memories with their closest family and friends. They are incredibly excited to start this next chapter and cannot wait to celebrate their love in paradise with all of you!

Our Dream is to experience a once in a lifetime vacation with our loved ones. If you could manage traveling to the island earlier we would love to celebrate our "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" either Monday (Feb 15th) or Tuesday (Feb 16th) prior to our wedding to extend everyone's trip in paradise. We will be on the island between February 12th - 21st
