We met in the most millennial way possible—on the internet. Over the next year and a half, we built a relationship grounded in playful teasing, deep conversations, endless laughter, and our shared love for cuddling and bedtime—especially if it includes a good true crime documentary. Our favorite thing is simply being together. Whether we’re going to concerts, enjoying spontaneous date nights, testing new dinner recipes, vacationing, or spending time with the kids, we cherish every moment we share. If you’ve spent any time around us, you know how deep our love truly runs. We’re soulmates in every sense of the word. Fights are rare—we just can’t stay mad at each other for long. Chris has gently helped chip away years of relationship trauma, showing Hilary what true love really feels and looks like. We’re best friends before anything else. Like any couple, we have our quirks. Hilary keeps Chris updated on all things Taylor Swift and celebrity gossip, while Chris tests Hilary’s patience with endless wrestling commentary and a steady stream of dad jokes and puns—many of which he’s far too proud of. Somehow, it all works perfectly. On April 12, 2025, Chris pulled off the perfect surprise proposal. He coordinated with one of our favorite photographers during a spring photo session at a local county park. He didn’t tell anyone—because if you know Hilary, you know she always finds out! While Hilary was whisked away for solo shots, Chris set up with the ring box and a fake flower. Throughout our relationship, Chris has often bought fake flowers (because real ones die), so he proposed with a ring box tucked inside one, tying our beginning to this next chapter. When Hilary returned, Chris got down on one knee. There were tears, laughter, and—in true “us” fashion—Hilary said, “Sure, I’ve got nothing else to do,” quoting one of our favorite inside jokes from trashy TV. Of course, in true Hil & Chris fashion, we didn’t do things the “traditional” way—we had the wedding planned (venue, dress, ring, and all!) before the official proposal. Our date is set for September 27, 2025, inspired by our love of fall. We can’t wait to celebrate our marriage with our family and closest friends.
