A Love Story: From High School Sweethearts to Forever!

In the halls of high school in 2007, Chris and Teddi’s love story began with a chance encounter after a fall dance. A simple text message initiated their journey, leading to six years of shared laughter, outdoor adventures, and unwavering support. While their first official date may not have been traditional, a weekend getaway to Teddi’s beach house in 2011 became a cherished memory filled with fishing, crabbing, and the joy of each other’s company.

We’re equal parts similar & different, and balance each other out in nearly every way.

Their shared interests include cooking, cheering for the Rangers, and spending quality time outdoors with their beloved dog, Joey. The pinnacle of their love story unfolded during a meticulously planned proposal. Chris surprised Teddi with a proposal by the riverside, turning what she thought was an engagement party into a momentous occasion. Surrounded by friends and family at a local restaurant, they celebrated the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. Teddi adores Chris’s ability to make her laugh, prioritize teamwork, and exhibit fatherly qualities, while Chris admires Teddi’s drive, unwavering support, and the depth of her love. Together, they find joy in simple pleasures like cooking, enjoying the outdoors with Joey, and cozying up for movie nights. As they look forward to the future, Chris and Teddi’s love story stands as a heartwarming testament to the enduring power of high school sweethearts growing and thriving together.
