Both Hailey and Christian grew up spending summers on Martha's Vineyard with their families for years, but never met each other. It wasn't until the summer of 2012, both got jobs working at Giordano's Restaurant in Oak Bluffs, as the fry cook and the cashier. Exchanging only 27 words in total that first summer, Christian fell in love with his future wife. After years of friendship and years of dating, Christian took Hailey on a walk in Newport Rhode Island and proposed with the help of their dog, Hubble!
