Chris and I met on my mother’s birthday in 2016. Our mom’s went to high school together, and had been friends for more than 40 years. Sometimes in life we have those moments where everything slows down and we realize that this person could change your life forever. To say I was instantly smitten, the moment I laid eyes on him, is an understatement. Before we met I had been planning to move back to Florida. I knew that I didn’t want to leave him, but I had already accepted a job. So, when I left I was praying that it would work out, after all what’s meant to be, always finds its way. After dating long distant for eight months, I decided to move back to Illinois to give our relationship our best shot. We lived together for ten months, and ended up moving back to Florida together. We got engaged on September 21st of 2019, and we could not be happier to be married where it all began. We can not wait for our two families to become one, and to be husband and wife. We hope you can be part of the happiest day of our lives.
