Our Wedding

It was the Summer of 2013. We both went on Tinder. We both swiped right! She swiped right on his adorable photo with Chip and Dale. He swiped right on the adorable photo of her in Minnie Mouse apron. After conversing via text for a few days they met at Universal Studios Hollywood Citywalk. He had won tickets to see an AMC movie and invited her out. The movie, "Million Dollar Arm". After the movie they walked the mall and had dinner where they made up facts, laughed and had a great time. As he walked her to her car, he knew he had to see her again. And they did!

How we met

On a vacation to Disney World, Chris surprised Diana with a proposal in front of Cinderella's castle. He had the whole thing planned. Diana was in complete shock. It was a cold morning in January. The storms had finally passed at the Magic Kingdom. We waited for the monorail to arrive. It was Diana's first trip. We rode rides, saw shows and even had lunch. He was waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. As they walked over to the castle, the "Dreams come true" show was just ending. He said he wanted to take a photo... well unable to find a photographer, she suggested a Selfie. Knowing that it wasn't part of the plan he asked an unsuspecting cast member to take their photo. Well you can see the rest. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SYMqKmgt0ns" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
