Mimi and Chris started out as a classic workplace romance. It wasn't love at first sight, in fact, they barely noticed each other for the first few months after Mimi began working at the hospital. Eventually, casual conversations turned into shared lunches, which then turned into conveniently making “one-person tasks” into two-person jobs. Mimi began to develop a huge crush and patiently waited for Chris to make the first move. After waiting long enough (and realizing patience isn't her strongest trait), she took matters into her own hands and asked for his Instagram during one of their lunch breaks and they messaged for a whole weekend. Once again, Mimi waited for him to ask for her number… and once again, ended up asking for his first. From there, the flirting continued both at work, over texts, and phone calls every single day for two months. Mimi made several attempts to plan a date, all of which were masterfully dodged by Chris. While Mimi was internally screaming (and occasionally punching pillows), she refused to give up; something about him just felt special. Meanwhile, Chris was quietly wrestling with his own worries about dating a coworker, but also realized that Mimi was quite special. Then came the turning point. The weekend after Thanksgiving, Chris had a trip planned to Mammoth with his friend, and future best man, Samad. When Samad had to cancel due to a family emergency, Mimi wasted no time hijacking his trip! That spontaneous trip turned into the most magical weekend — and the rest is history. Since then, Mammoth has held a very special place in their hearts, and they couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to begin their marriage, surrounded by their favorite people.
