Rachael and Chris first met at work, where Rachael had a reputation for making the most of her favorite dating app — Microsoft Teams. At the time, there wasn’t much of a spark. Both were seeing other people, work was hectic, and if you know Chris, you know he’s not exactly chatty around the office — not even with Rachael.
But over time, that began to change.
Late nights, long hours, shared frustrations, inside jokes, and subtle flirtation slowly brought them closer. They discovered common ground, and something more began to grow between them. That growing connection finally came to life at the company Christmas party, where they shared their first kiss — and from that moment on, the sparks were undeniable.
Chris invited Rachael on a ski trip to Flagstaff. Rachael brought Chris to a family dinner. They met each other's friends, shared more time, more laughter, and deeper feelings — and before long, they were inseparable.
Rachael’s magnetic personality, striking beauty, and unapologetic honesty had Chris completely captivated. She was everything he had been searching for — outgoing, witty, confident, surrounded by amazing friends and a warm, welcoming family. But more than anything, she made him feel like the best version of himself. From early on, he knew she was someone he wanted by his side for the rest of his life.
Chris is the kind of person who quietly commands respect. Rachael was drawn to his sharp intelligence, unwavering drive, and his deep desire to provide for her and Arthur. He carries a quiet confidence into everything he does — never flashy, but always steady. Fiercely loyal and deeply caring, Chris consistently shows up for the people he loves. He’s surrounded by an incredible group of friends who reflect the kind of man he is. With his calm presence and big heart, Chris makes her feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
The beginning of their relationship was a whirlwind — working side by side every day, spontaneous weekend getaways, a trip to Iceland, Disneyland adventures, concerts, and their favorite shared activity: eating. As time went on, their bond only deepened. They met each other’s families, explored new places together, and eventually decided to take the next step and move in. For some couples, that moment can be a test — but for Chris and Rachael, it was simply more proof that they were exactly where they were meant to be. Living together felt easy, fun, and safe.
Now, after four amazing years together, they’ve built a life filled with adventure, friendship, and love. From traveling the world to building strong roots at home, they’ve continued to grow — not just as individuals, but as a team. And with every passing year, they fall even more in love, excited for the future they’re creating and the family they’ll build together.
