We both grew up in Greentown, and even went to the same high school. Even though it was a tiny school, we somehow never spoke to- or even met- one another. It wasn’t until Hannah’s junior, and Chris’s senior year at Purdue that the two finally met. They met when a mutual friend, Rachel Manfred, was staying on campus with Hannah, and decided they should visit Chris’s apartment to say hi. It wasn’t until later that night when Chris sheepishly texted Rachel asking if it would be alright to have Hannah’s number. Real smooth Chris.

Chris took Hannah on a cruise for her last spring break at Purdue. On the day of formal dinner, Chris introduced himself to one of the boat photographers and told him he planned on proposing that night while getting formal photos taken. So, after getting formal pictures taken, Chris got down on one knee and the moment was captured!
