Aaron and Christina's first date was on June 20, 2016; on their first three dates they stayed so long at the restaurants that they got kicked out at closing time. They've been together ever since. They've traveled around the country, watched many many movies, played a lot of fantasy football, and won at a lot of Gritty's Stump Trivia nights. The first time Aaron told Christina he loved her was while they were watching a Green Bay Packers game on TV.

For Christmas 2017, Aaron surprised Christina and her family with tickets and sideline passes to a 2018 Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field! Christina and her father Gus are lifelong Packers fans and Lambeau is iconic no matter which team you root for. Aaron, Christina, and Christina's parents Patti and Gus spent September 29th, 2018 touring Lambeau Field and visiting the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

On September 30th, 2018, they all returned to Lambeau for a game versus the Buffalo Bills. Before the game, they were able to go down to the sideline while the players warmed up - a really cool experience. While Patti snapped photos of Christina and Aaron in the end zone, Aaron pulled a ring out of his pocket, got down on one knee, and asked Christina to marry him. (Spoiler alert: she said "yes!") The ring, Aaron's grandmother's 1936 engagement ring, fit perfectly.
