We met when Christian moved to Whitehall in fifth grade. We were friends throughout high school and always had eyes for each other. In fact, he was my very first kiss. Fast forward a few years after high school, we reconnected when hanging with some hometown friends and have been inseparable since. Christian spent a LOT of time at 80 Elm (my college apartment) during my last year of undergrad (as did our pup, Mia). We've moved various times from one apartment to the next and are now happily living in our forever home in the country of our hometown. We got engaged in Sardinia, Italy in the summer of 2022 where Christian surprised me with a helicopter ride to a private island. While I was only anticipating a couples photo shoot in this serene country, little did I know it would be an an extra special day to remember for the rest of our lives. We have enjoyed our engagement building more memories with family and friends, and are excited to begin a new chapter.
