It all began with a little help from some unexpected matchmakers—Kris’ mom and both of their old bosses. What Kris thought was a simple visit to catch up with his former colleagues quickly turned into something much more when they orchestrated a meeting between him and Jules. While Kris was told it was just to say hello, their bosses had something else in mind: they knew they were meant to meet. Once they finally crossed paths, it didn’t take long for sparks to fly. Despite Kris living in Charleston and Jules in Atlanta, distance wasn’t going to stand in the way of what was beginning to feel like something truly special. They took turns driving to visit each other, cherishing every moment spent together. Then, everything changed when they decided to take a trip to Italy—a trip that deepened their connection and brought them even closer. It was during that adventure that the idea of forever started to feel like a natural next step. In the summer of 2024, in a beautiful moment that will forever be etched in their hearts, Kris proposed to Jules at the Banfi Vineyard, and she happily said yes. Soon after, they made the decision to build a life together in St. Petersburg, Florida—ready to start the next chapter. As they prepare to say "I do" in the country where their journey together truly began, they’re both overjoyed to celebrate their love with the most important people in their lives.
