It all started at a Halloween party. Chris dressed as Tequila (coincidentally, one of Anna's favorite things), and Anna dressed as Kim Possible. He later slid into her Facebook DMs asking for her number and a date, and the rest is history.

The first, second, fifth, and many more dates all took place at La Palapa in Ellicott City over Mexican food and margaritas. The waitress had to come back so many times because Chris and Anna, deep in conversation (mostly Anna talking - typical), had not looked at the menu yet.

Chris asked Anna to marry him with her favorite animal (penguins!) as witnesses at a private encounter at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.

Coming full circle, Anna and Chris will tie the knot almost exactly 7 years from when they met. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
