It was the summer of 2002. Chris and Lisa graduated high school and were preparing to head to college. We met at Polo Ralph Lauren working in the Men's department. Throughout the rest of summer, we became good friends sharing an interest in music, food, and fashion. Fast forward to 2009 after Chris & Lisa gained life experiences and finished college, we reconnected and developed a relationship.
On a trip to Chicago (our favorite city), Chris planned an evening of adventure. The night began with dinner and drinks at Chicago's exclusive The Library lounge inside the Milk Room. After a few samples of bourbon and whiskey, Lisa was ready to head back to the hotel. Meanwhile, Chris had other plans. Mid-way through the Uber ride, Chris rerouted us to Grant Park for a midnight stroll. Chris was persistent in taking photos in front of Buckingham Fountain. When Lisa turned around, Chris was on his knee with the ring in hand...and the rest is history.
