It is not a surprise Chris and Courtney met each other through their friends! Chris always stayed close with his John Jay buddies and spent most weekends in the City at Normandie Court on the Upper East Side with Jay, Evan and Nick. Little did Chris know, his future Wife was living only a few blocks away, down 2nd Avenue with Deana. It just so happened in College, Jay and Deana studied abroad together in Australia and naturally stayed close as only cool people do. It was just a matter of time until Chris and Courtney would run into each other at the local dive bar, Rathbones. It was a New York Rangers playoff game during the 2014-2015 season and the whole crew was at Rathbones, including Courtney and Chris. Chris immediately noticed the Rangers sweatshirt Courtney was wearing. which was a huge point of conversation. By the end of the 2nd period, Courtney decided to ditch the sweatshirt (because it was crowded and the anxiety from the game was at an all time high). This goes against all of Chris' superstitions. Chris told her that she needed to keep it on, but she insisted it would be fine. The Rangers ended up losing and Chris said "Nope, can't be friends anymore!" That didn't sit well with Courtney, especially since she had a bit of a crush on Chris. So she decided to take action and slide into Chris's DMs and asked "Can we be friends again?" At that point Chris was shocked and knew this would be an opportunity to get the girl he had an eye on every time she entered a room. Chris responded, "Sure we can be friends again but under one stipulation, best friends." They exchanged numbers and to this day, they continue to fall more and more in love with each other.
