Our Wedding

When I think about our story, I think about what I will tell our kids when they ask us how we fell in love. Van and I were on a trip with some friends and we realized how much we made each other smile and laugh effortlessly. I realized how much I enjoyed talking to him every day and how much I missed him when I wasn’t talking to him. Just by being ourselves, we realized how much we needed each other, and the happiness we brought to each others’ lives. So, when we got back from that trip, we decided to plan a date. We went to Fusion in Auburn, and had the best time getting to know each other on a deeper level and finding out we liked each other more than we thought we ever did. It was that moment I knew he was going to be someone special. Over time, I fell in love with the man who always put my needs above anything else, listened when I had something to say, and made sure I always knew I was loved. The man that never let me go to sleep without a long goodnight message telling me how beautiful I was and how lucky he was. The man who never left work without having an alert to call me right when he left. The man who made me laugh when I was feeling the most sad. The man who would sit through The Notebook with me, knowing I was going to be sitting there quietly with tears streaming down my face, asking if he would be a bird with me. The man who would take up for me no matter what, and always make me feel validated. Six and a half years later and that man will become my husband and eventually the father of my children, and I could not be more grateful. I only ever asked for someone to live life with me continuing to make me a better person, and he has done that and so much more. I laugh more, smile bigger, and live better because of Van and only hope I do the same for him. To the moon and back. Forever and always, V.

Christi’s Perspective

Our story. It started the moment I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Christi. It started on our first date in Auburn, it was just a lunch date in downtown. That day was the day I knew that everything happens for a reason. Somehow everything always led back to her. Since the beginning she’s never failed to make me laugh on my darkest days, she’s supported me through everything, and she’s never made me feel as loved as I have the past five years. Ever since Christi and I started dating it has been the easiest five years of my life. Throughout all the dates and movie nights and everything in between, she has consistently made my life better and better. I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend life with. She’s so easy to love and the most deserving person I’ve ever known. I used to love being alone and having time to myself, but as time went on I found myself missing her more and more when we weren’t together. She’s the most loving and caring person that anyone could ever meet, and I don’t think I can go any longer not being married to this woman.
