Chris and Stephanie met back in 2007 while employed together. Chris was your typical tall, ruggedly handsome man, and Stephanie was an only child that was use to getting what she wanted ( you can thank her parents for that). So there is no surprise when we say she was the first to make the move and with no hesitation. An email sent to Chris with just a simple question mark (?), and let’s just say he took the bait. Chris was caught by surprise that the prettiest female in the office reached out to him. From the first time he laid eyes on her, he was entrenched by her long legs in sexy heels and her breath taking smile. Chris was at the lowest point in his life when he met Stephanie, but as fate would have it, she looked past all that. Stephanie, a strong independent, single mother gave Chris an opportunity and did not judge him. They got to know each other on a deeper level and this gave them the opportunity to learn a side of them, that most people never knew existed. Stephanie was also in a dark place in her life, learning to raise a little boy on her own. She found the comfort she longed for in Chris and one thing that won Stephanie’s heart from the start was how Chris would always ask about Joey. Never having met her little boy Chris always made it a point to ask about him, and I don’t think he knew at the time how much that meant to her. She fell in love quickly once she got the opportunity to see the relationship Chris built with Joey. It was adorable and heartwarming to see a man with no experience being a Dad, wake up exhausted to wipe some lime green poop from a little boys booty cheeks, all so that his pregnant girlfriend could get some rest. That’s how she knew what an amazing Dad he would be to their baby girl. How could she not fall head over heels for him. Close family and friends that have witnessed this love story can attest that it has not been a perfect one, but to see where it started, to where it is today is a testament to the love they have for eachother and the beautiful life they’ve built together. Now after 17 years of love they are ready to make it official and celebrate with all the people they love and adore the most.
