Chris and I have known each other for 17 years and by know each other, I mean we saw each other and had minimal conversations. About 4 years ago a simple message is where it all started (I will spare you the details of this message). Chris quickly made sure that we would meet up the very next night. This night was a long one but interesting because it was as if we were meeting for the first time. Long story short, I made the first attempt at conversation and he made the first move. Fast forward 3 years and we are getting married! Chris and I have built a strong foundation of love, trust, and friendship. We have great family and friends that love and support us. I am truly grateful for social media and the courage of wine that one night :)

If you told me while I was in middle school that one day I was going to marry Christina Gabrielle, I would’ve told you that you’re crazy. Well, here we are 17 years later and I’m the luckiest guy in the world. When you find someone that makes you a better man every single day, you make sure that you don’t let them go. Thank goodness for a little liquid courage and social media. P.S. She sent the first message!
