Our Wedding

The lovely couple met shortly after Margaret made the move to the big city. It took getting shot down multiple times before Margaret finally said yes to going out on a date with Chris. Their first date was at Casual Animal Brewing Co where they immediately hit it off, talking for hours. They were so engrossed in conversation that they ended up shutting the the bar down!Due to one of them having an incredibly busy schedule (not naming names), it was difficult to coordinate the next few dates. They wound up having dates at the oddest of times. As they bonded over their quirkiness, love of being active, and shared values and goals, things quickly took off!	Margaret and Chris value their time together and have spent countless hours together playing with their dog, Gus, trying new recipes together, and hanging out with friends and family. It all cumulated with Chris getting down on one knee and proposing over Labor Day weekend. Margaret obviously said yes and now the couple is looking forward to moving onto the next step of marriage. They can't wait to celebrate with all their loved ones!
