Our union started out as a blind date at a local sushi restaurant nine years ago. We gorged and discovered each other and we continued to be real with each other. We were intrigued and overjoyed, but could we make our relationship work after so many other failed ventures and so many broken promises. This time, however, we were committed to overcoming what held us back in the past. A fear of losing independence was overwhelmed by a desire to please each other. With a sense of competition, both desired to love each other more than the other which is enduring and endearing. Having survived a plethora of house projects, Cris and Lana determined they are better together and everything is better when they are in each other's company. They decided that they wanted to celebrate their love and the love of their family and friends. Calling our marriage a celebration of love, Cris and Lana want to share our special union with you. We are honored to have you in our lives and you are surely treasured. Let us be glad and rejoice in it!
