Christina was in the thick of medical school in Indiana, with her days filled with studying and little time for much else. That didn’t stop her friends from deciding she needed a little help in the romance department—they made her a profile on a dating app, and it wasn’t long before she matched with Rich (her first and only date from the app to be exact). Rich, originally from Buffalo, New York, was in Indiana completing his pharmacy residency. Intrigued by Christina’s profile - specifically letting her know he could help her with pharmacology, he asked her out, and their first date was set at Hotel Tango. Christina, ever confident, ordered Rich’s drink for him—something he was surprised about at the time! But any awkwardness melted away as they discovered they had a lot in common, including their alma maters both being part of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Coincidentally, Miami (OH) and Buffalo were playing each other in football that same night. Miami may have lost the game, but Christina felt like she’d just won the jackpot. From that first date, their story grew in the heart of Indianapolis, where they enjoyed exploring the city’s best restaurants, hiking trails and even getting a dog together, Novie Povie. Visits to Buffalo became regular adventures, where Rich taught Christina all about his hometown—its food, the Bills, and the infamous wings (Bar-Bill are obviously the best)! When Rich completed his residency, he made a big decision: to accept a job in Indianapolis so he could stay close to Christina while she finished her residency. Their bond grew stronger with every adventure, from simple nights cooking at home to trips across the country. After three years together, Rich planned a surprise proposal during a visit to Colorado. At the top of a breathtaking mountain, surrounded by stunning views, he got down on one knee and asked Christina to marry him. Spoiler alert: she said yes! Now, they’re excited to write the next chapter of their love story, and they can’t wait to celebrate this special moment with you.
