It all started in 2012 with a wink from Michelle on Match.com. She loved how important family was to Chris and his love of get-togethers and holidays with family and friends. Chris loved how she leaned in when she spoke, drawing him in. When it came to their first date, Chris won Michelle over at "pirate festival," since he remembered in a conversation she liked pirate things. The second date was at a pumpkin patch and their interest continued to grow. They love adventure, travel, and new experiences, but they also just love to relax and "cuddle,” (with Chris usually falling asleep on Michelle’s leg). Chris proposed on April 29, 2018 in Huntington Beach at a bon-fire on the sand. The glowing sun set, the waves were crashing, but when the stars and full moon rose in the sky, it was the perfect time for him to ask. She said yes and they toasted the occasion by roasting marshmallows.
