In the spring of 2014, Chris and Noel met in sunny Tempe, AZ, while attending Arizona State University. By the fall of 2014, they practically lived together and had already started raising their first Golden Retriever Franklin. From there they went on to continue their relationship as they would both go on to graduate from college and start their professional careers. In 2017 they moved to Phoenix, AZ, where they enjoyed meeting new friends at the apartment pool, going to breweries and restaurants, and hanging out with Frank on the couch. By 2021, Chris and Noel purchased their first home together in North Phoenix and quickly decided that they needed another Golden Retriever, who of course needed a name as distinguished as Frank. In January of 2022, they brought home George and settled into their new home. In October of 2022 Chris (finally) proposed to Noel in their backyard surrounded by friends and family. She said yes! They are both looking forward to the adventures ahead and the beginning of forever as a married couple!

We look forward to celebrating with all of you in Phoenix!
