Chris and Maria have known each other for about 16 years through Laura Barrett, Maria’s sister and also Chris’ good friend from high school. But it wasn’t until August of 2020 when Chris and Maria’s paths would cross on a warm Sunday night at Iron Hill Brewery in Media. They were there to pay tribute to a mutual friend who had unfortunately passed away. Chris decided to sit right next to Maria and they spent the entire night together at the restaurant. Wasting very little time, Chris asked Laura for Maria’s number and invited her to dinner two nights later at the Lamb Tavern in Springfield. Without hesitation, Maria agreed to go to dinner and the rest is history. Fast forward over two years later Chris and Maria welcomed their amazing daughter Mia to the world. In March of 2023, Chris proposed to the love of his life in New York City with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. They are excited to choose forever and continue to grow their beautiful family.
