Our Story

Please RSVP by June 1, 2027

Our story began when we were just kids in high school long before we understood what it would grow into.

In 2001, at a school bus stop, two lives — and two family trees — would be forever changed in an instant. Heidi was badly injured and required emergency care… and, as it turned out, required a new boy in her life too.

In the weeks that followed, we spent more time together. What began as simply being there for support slowly turned into something neither of us expected — especially considering we didn’t even like each other at first (in fact, we didn’t like each other at all).

As time went on, we became inseparable and decided to take a chance on each other.

Over the years, what began as a frightening and uncertain moment became something far greater than we could have imagined — a relationship shaped by resilience, faith, and a commitment to choosing each other—every day.

Chris & Heidi


“It’s funny how life can bring you a person you never thought you wanted… and somehow she becomes everything you didn’t know you needed.”

— Chris


“I didn’t know it at the time, but one of the scariest moments of my life would lead me to the person I was meant to walk through life with. What started unexpectedly became something steady, strong, and constant and over the years, it has grown into a love I’m incredibly grateful for every single day.”
— Heidi

And the rest is still being written!

We strive each day to be better to each other than we were the day before!
