Rachel & Chris met at Fordham University. What started out as a friendship was soon taken to the next level during their junior year. Fast forward 7 years later and now they are married! They were young and in love and the best part about their relationship was that they grew up together from wild adolescents to fully functioning adults.
The first time Rachel & Chris knew they loved each other, was about 3 weeks into their relationship. They ventured into the city and were hanging out at Columbus Circle and it just clicked! That was the day they said those 3 big words and talked about all the pie in the sky ideas, house, kids, car, puppies.
The New York Botanical Gardens is across the street from Fordham’s campus. The couple would always go for a run or walk around there during their college days. One day Chris told Rachel to meet him in the gardens and as they were walking around, he got down on one knee and asked Rachel to marry him. The surprises didn’t stop there! After he proposed, Chris arranged for a surprise lunch with their entire family, followed by drinks with all of their friends at their favorite college bar.
