We met through close friends and instantly had a connection. Kris was living in Rockford and Sasha in Chicago. We had a long term relationship for a year and a half when Sasha decided to move to Rockford. We enjoy a lot of the same things but also bring out the best in each other to try new experiences. On Christmas Eve one of the gifts Sasha opened was a snow globe and in it had pictures of our big moments this past year (Trips to Lisbon and London for the Bears game and buying a house). Kris said it is only missing the one picture from when I ask you to marry me. He opened the snow globe and the ring was inside. Sasha said yes! We hope you can join us for a full weekend of celebrations in our home town!
