Audrey and Chris seemingly circled one another for years, never realizing they were only a few mutual friends or one chance encounter away from finding their forever person. Though they both attended MICA and moved within the same creative circles, it wasn't until after graduating in 2016 that fate finally stepped in. They met at a friend's Cinco de Mayo birthday party at a local barbecue restaurant, bonding over a Jack and Coke and a blackberry mule. What began as casual conversation quickly turned into hours of laughter, and by the following week, they were on their first official date at another beloved Baltimore spot, Aloha Sushi.
That first summer together set the tone for the nine that followed. They spent countless nights talking on the porch, took their first trips together, and explored the city side by side. Each year since has brought new people, new places, and new favorite meals, their shared love of art and design leading them to more museums and galleries than they can count.
In the fall of 2021, Audrey and Chris purchased their first home, a milestone that marked the beginning of a new kind of adventure. Decorating and remodeling together has meant an ongoing list of projects, challenging at times but endlessly rewarding. Creating a space that feels entirely their own has deepened their love of hosting, filling their home with friends and family whenever they can.
In the summer of 2023, with the help of one of Audrey's best friends, Chris secretly purchased an engagement ring. That autumn, against the backdrop of the English countryside, he proposed. They spent the remainder of their trip wandering through London and Amsterdam, savoring not only the cities but the joy of being newly engaged.
Now, with love and excitement, they will tie the knot in the city they adore, surrounded by the friends and family who have supported them from the very beginning. They cannot wait to celebrate in Baltimore and welcome everyone into this next chapter of their story.
