Like most modern day love stories, theirs also began with a quick "like" on Hinge. Although it took the groom a little bit of extra time to pick up on the virtual flirt, once the connection was made the chemistry was undeniable. They quickly set up a first date meeting at a local BYOB Italian Restaurant and were both instantly smitten. Monica knew if this relationship was going to go anywhere, there was one introduction that needed to go well. Soon after their first date, Monica introduced Christian to the one true love she had in her life, her French Bulldog Sebastian. It was love at first sight for Christian and him and Bash have been best buds ever since.

Since being together, their lives have been filled with love, travel, and many adventures. They enjoy spending time with family, friends, and of course Sebastian.
