We met while working at a small parking lot garden center, and loved spending our time talking while deadheading, but we didn't know if it would turn into anything! We finally got the courage (actually, I - Rachel, did!) to just go on a date, and from that date on, we've been pretty much inseparable.
After over two and a half years of dating, Christian was ready to commit to being stuck with me for life! I thought I was meeting up with some friends for a holiday gift exchange and a walk in Wayzata, but Christian had hijacked the day (with the help of my friends for a few weeks prior) and was waiting a little ways down the trail. I could not have been more shocked. Easiest yes of my entire life!
