Our story begins in the halls of Walsh Jesuit High School. Like most high school couples, our early dates centered around school sporting events, with dinner or ice cream before or after the games. A few months later, Christian asked Annmarie to senior prom through a local scavenger hunt which ended at our favorite ice cream spot, Country Maid. Annmarie's white dress was a subtle indication of everything to come!

Ohio State is a special place to us. We entered college as wide-eyed kids, eager and excited for the next four years. Little did we know those years would shape our futures and our story together! Some of our favorite memories are storming the field after an OSU win, taking a soil science course together, and going to each other's fraternity date parties.

We stuck around Columbus post-grad, continuing to build our life. The past few years have involved travel to visit friends and family, and even Annmarie convincing Bubba to go to a Taylor Swift concert with her! From cooking meals together to taking sunset walks after work, we cherish all of the moments we share.

In fall of 2025, Christian and Annmarie were on their way to dinner when Christian surprised Annmarie and proposed in one of their favorite spots in Columbus! It was a weekend to remember. We are so grateful for all of the memories we've shared, and look forward to the many years of love ahead of us!
