It all started fifteen years ago... when Christopher spotted Emily for the first time while he was leaving Bonsai, a local sushi restaurant in Port Washington, New York. You see... Emily and Christopher both grew up in Port Washington. However Christopher attended private school, so he had never seen Emily before that very moment. Christopher needed to know who that girl with the Juicy jacket with the fur was. He turned to his best friend, Sammy Santora, and said "WHO IS THAT GIRL?" Sammy said "Oh that's Emsaf, she is a year older than us." Fast forward a year or two... Christopher's other best friend was dating Emily's soon to be Maid of Honor. Christopher saw that as his perfect opportunity to finally date Emily, but Emily was "too cool." Years went by... Emily and Christopher remained friends keeping him in the friend-zone. Now let's talk about the more recent years... seven years ago August 2012, Christopher moved down to Miami to finish his college career at University of Miami. Little did he know that three years later, his long term crush and friend Emily, would move to Miami as well (this is when Christopher started to slide into Emily's dms on Instagram.) Two years later... they reunited for dinner with long term friends Susie and Jeanny. Christopher finally asked Emily out on a proper date, but it never materialized. Shortly after, Emily had a boyfriend, but that did not stop Christopher from getting his dream girl. November 2018, Christopher attended Emily's grand opening of her second Salon location. The rest was history. Christopher told Emily "When you're ready to date a real man, call me." Two days later Emily called Christopher and #wandafinallymadeitoutofthefriendzone.
