Our love story unfolds in a familiar setting – Waxhaw. Little did we know, destiny had plans for us to cross paths, whether it was across miles or right in our hometown. Our journey officially began at Mary O’Neil's, where despite Sophie's initial mishap, we both sensed something special. Days turned into cherished moments spent together, unable to bear being apart, as love took hold of our hearts. Yet, our connection didn't start there. Fate had orchestrated numerous encounters, like an “invisible string” pulling us together (#Swiftie). The UNC victory over Duke in 2022 stands out the most, where we unknowingly stood mere feet away from one another, celebrating amidst the chaos of Franklin Street. Earlier that day, Chris attempted to catch the game at Might as Well, while Sophie rooted for her team at the bar (maybe Chris could have gotten in if he didn’t go to the fake UNC). What makes this moment so special is the aerial photo of Franklin Street that captures our complete ignorance, not knowing that we would soon find each other and start our adventure to forever. These moments affirmed our belief that we were meant to find each other. Our love grew swiftly, merging our lives and families seamlessly. Together, with our children Aspen, Simba, and Jordie, we've created a home filled with love and so much laughter. As we embark on this new chapter as husband and wife, we're filled with gratitude for the journey that brought us here. With friends and family like you by our side, we're excited to see where this adventure leads. Thank you for being part of our story, and here's to the next chapter – filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished moments.
