How We Met

It all started in February 2019 when Christian and McKenzie met, and let's just say the sparks were instant! By March, they were officially a couple, and the rest is history. They've been inseparable ever since, and their adventures together have only gotten better with time. Whether they're hanging out with Christian's son, Easton, or enjoying time with their favorite people, they’re always up for a good time. Social gatherings? Count them in! From fun nights with friends to spontaneous plans, they love making memories with those who mean the most. The big surprise came in September 2024 when Christian decided to pop the question in the most unexpected way. During a family photo session, McKenzie thought she was just getting some cute shots, but Christian had something much bigger in mind. Down on one knee, he asked her to be his forever, and she couldn’t believe it! The surprises didn’t end there—Christian had secretly planned an engagement party at Backpocket with all their closest friends and family, and it was the perfect celebration to kick off this next chapter. Now, with their wedding day fast approaching in August 2025, they can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. It’s going to be a day full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun—just like their journey together so far!
