Our Wedding

Some love stories begin with grand gestures or carefully laid plans. Theirs began with coincidence, the kind that feels ordinary at the time, but quietly and quickly changes into something that will last forever. David and Christina met after a Cincinnati Cyclones hockey game near the end of 2023. He was there with his best friend Nick, a cousin of Christina’s, and she was there with other family and friends. With the excitement of a win, everyone met up for a drink following the game. A few weeks after the game, Christina hosted a New Year’s Eve party with her family. Nick thankfully invited David. Christina and David were happy to see each other again and talked all night. It would not be long after the new year that they would find themselves on their first date. Where else but a Cyclones game with Skyline, dollar beer, and hockey fights. Hockey would remain a staple throughout their relationship. They found themselves going back to that same arena, not just for the game, but for the memory of where it all started. Whether it be at games, or simply hanging out with each other at home, there is something special about how easily laughter came and how familiar it felt. After about one year of dating, they were confident that they had found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with. Much to Christina’s surprise, the day that he proposed would come on a seemingly random Tuesday evening after work. It had been 14 months since they became a couple, and they went to the restaurant where they shared their first Valentine’s Day together. David asked the waitress to take a picture of them outside of the restaurant before sundown and made sure the waitress knew the full plan. After dinner, David got down on one knee. Following a tear-filled yes from Christina, the couple walked back inside for some champagne and soaked it all in before sharing with friends and family. The wedding planning has been full steam ahead ever since, and the couple cannot wait to see everyone and celebrate on May 24th.
