Chris and I met in early August of 2002. We met through friends and immediately had that spark. We went bowling with a big group of people but really spent the evening getting to know one another. We shared bits and pieces of our lives, but at the end of the night I didn't really think he liked me because I was loud and crazy while he was more reserved and quiet. But as he walked me to the car, he took me completely by surprise and kissed me goodnight.

He called the very next day and asked me out on a real date. He picked me up late that night in his bright red Firebird. We talked all night and watched shooting stars for over 5 hours. (There might have also been some kissing, but we'll spare you the details.) Chris drove me home as the sun came up. We repeated this a few nights in a row and both fell head over heels.

We stayed together through the ups and downs for 5 years of long distance while we both attended college. Chris was at Rochester Institute of Technology, while Meg attended The Ohio State University. We put many miles on our cars and paid some pretty large phone bills.

Finally, Chris moved to Columbus when he landed an awesome job at Honda as a Chassis Design Engineer. Meg works for SBC Advertising as an Interactive Project Manager. We bought our first house in September of 2008 and share it with our labradoodle, Moose, and cat, George.

And now after 8 years- we're tying the knot!
