We first met in 8th grade through church, and we quickly became each other’s firsts! Like most early teen relationships, it didn’t last long, and as time went on, we lost touch while growing older.

Fast forward almost 10 years, and we grabbed dinner intentionally as friends catching up in NYC as we were both working in the city – we couldn't deny the feelings we had for each other! A few months later, we moved in together and shortly after got our first puppy, Taro!

John proposed at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden which was one of the first dates we had during our first week of dating! It was a complete surprise and John proposed with Christina's dream ring. We stayed at The Beekman Hotel after and the entire experience was magical, intimate, and everything we could have wanted!

The last 4 years together have been the best years of our lives – full of amazing adventures together, love, laughter, and unforgettable moments! Together, we have grown both as individuals and as a couple, became dog parents of 2 (Taro & Peaches), and we cannot be happier to become husband & wife. We are so incredibly grateful to be surrounded by our friends and family after our elopement and can't wait to see you all to celebrate in December!
