Christina
&
Patrick

Christina and Patrick met on Bumble in March 2022. After a month of chatting, their first date was postponed when Christina got COVID, leaving Patrick wondering if she was blowing him off! When they finally met, Patrick thought Christina talked a mile a minute (she was nervous!), while Christina thought Patrick was sweet but quiet.

Six months later, they took their first vacation to Punta Cana, sparking a shared love of travel that has taken them everywhere from Italy to San Diego.

In May 2026, Patrick proposed in England’s charming Lacock Village, catching everyone by surprise including Christina’s friend Alyssa, who found out just two minutes beforehand! Christina, eager to catch their tour bus, was less than thrilled about stopping for “one last picture,” until Patrick got down on one knee.

Along the way, they bought their first home and welcomed their beloved fur baby, Samson, completing their little family!
