How We Met

St Patrick's Day , 2013 - Our romance kindled when Caroline came down from med school in New York to visit her college best friend and roomie, Megan, in Pittsburgh. Megan had recently started dating Chris's best friend, Cody. We had a platonic night of effortless fun and Chris fell for Caroline instantly. However, she had a boyfriend. May, 2014 - Caroline travels back to the Burgh for Megan's graduation. At a party one night, she makes Chris the strongest Arnold Palmer of his life (shout-out to sweet tea vodka) which leads to interactions concerning Chris's opinions of Star Trek, Caroline's knowledge of 90s dance-funk music, and both of us being in relationships. January 4th, 2015 - Chris catches word that Caroline is recently single and wastes no time messaging her before the window of opportunity closes! A strong connection was formed over similar interests and values, but unfortunately the timing wasn't right and we would inevitably date on and off until... September 9th, 2017 - at the wedding of Megan and Cody, having not spoken for many months prior, Caroline confesses her undying love for Chris and he lets her know that she is the only woman he's wanted since the moment he set eyes on her! Born from the ashes, we have been together ever since and love each other more and more each day!

Proposal

January, 2021 - We took an intimate vacation to Caroline's favorite place - Maine! We stayed in an amazing tree house complete with three separate building, wooden rope bridges, ambient lighting out the wazoo, and a cedar hot tub. On the second morning of our trip, we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and freshly fallen snow. We left for a hike and Chris brought a small snack wrapped in his best linens. When Caroline briefly stepped away to admire a baby tree, Chris got down on one knee and unveiled a cheese board that wrote "Will You Marry Me?" After many hugs, tears, and kisses, Chris explained the symbolisms hidden in the cheese board that he made for Caroline and more hugs, tears, and kisses followed. Pictures are in the photos tab!
