While Christian and Lindsay had multiple "almost meet cute's" our love story didn't really begin until a sweet 16 party, back in 2008. Christian and Lindsay were sophomores at different high schools, but a mutual friend unknowingly brought them together and forever changed their lives. Unbeknownst to each other, we both spent the entire evening just trying to be in each others presence. While Christian was working on impressing Lindsay through magic tricks, one of her friends couldn't help but to play 52 card pick up over and over and over again (now imagine how hard it is to impress a girl when your tricks are being ruined!). Then the party came to a close, and the innocent flirting ended that night...or so they thought. The next day Christian reached out to Lindsay via Myspace (oh the days). After weeks of constant conversation, and some hesitations, the two finally went out on their first date...and well, the rest is history! 13 years worth of memories later, high school & college graduations, lots of traveling and 6 new states together (and many more to come!), and the addition of 1 furry kitten to the family.
Traveling is something we love to do together - to experience new activities, in new places, and to see the world from different perspectives. A few years ago we decided to have a goal to travel to all 50 states (and of course further when possible), so it is only fitting that Christian popped the question during one of our grand adventures! We planned a trip to New Orleans to watch the Flor de lis drop and experience a new 'New Years'! A few days into the trip we took a ride out to City Park. After taking some selfies, Christian had us 'accidentally' bump into friends who would offer to take some photos for us. And that is when it happened... on top of a stone bridge, surrounded by trees, waiting for a photo, Christian turns Lindsay around kneels on one knee and pops the question. And while a joking "about damn time" could have been the response, the only words heard from Lindsay was "yes, yes, yes". This will forever be the best way we got to ring in the new year! We can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin!
Since I was young I have pictured this day Not knowing the world would look so gloomy and gray I would walk down the aisle certain as can be That the man I was facing was perfect for me In today's world, love means so much more But the unknowns have been such a sore I feel so much stress wondering what will make of the day If nothing is known, and we are all still a fray I never pictured a mask hiding our big smiles Or the 6 feet distance that really feels like miles I never thought it was possible to feel so much fear To hug our loved ones who are so near and dear Since I was young I have pictured this day I want happiness and safety and love in every way I cannot take the chance of just rolling the dice Wondering what would happen if we didn't think twice We had many late night talks, making sure not to force Just trying to decide what would be the best course And when we took one more deep breath it was clear as can be This isn't the wedding or experience we pictured you see There are so many unknowns, that is certainly showing But our love for each other will always be growing So it is with much heartache from what we have seen We have decided to postpone to August fifteen This is part of our story, and it will always be But it is just this thing that makes us lucky you see We stayed united as one as the "worlds end" grew longer From here on we know our love story will just keep getting stronger
