Chris and Mary Beth's paths have crossed many times throughout their lifetime, including when his family moved just 10 houses away

from hers when he was 10 years old, but God's timing prevailed for the perfect moment when they were meant to fall in love. ​

​

February of 2018, Mary Beth was at Hopfly Brewery with friends while Chris was also there with his friends. Chris, being the smooth guy he is, talked to all of Mary Beth's friends, but pretended not to see her and then walked away. Mary Beth, being the valiant woman she is, later walked right up to Chris to introduce herself while Chris in his head said "Yes! It worked." After spending hours together that night laughing, getting to know each other, and even a 2am trip to Waffle House, little did they know that their love story had begun.
