A Christmas Story

Christmas holds a special place in our hearts for many reasons. It was the time we met, the time we got engaged, and now the time of our wedding. We are excited to have our Christmas-themed wedding and share our special day with the ones we love the most.
Josh & Chris

Josh & Chris

Josh & Chris worked for the same company in different states and hadn’t met until Josh came down to Houston to visit family for Christmas.

Chris was working at Josh’s old store, in Josh’s old position, and even working his same shifts! Josh and his cousin Sharaffeh went to to visit his old store and a bright-eyed Christopher was there there to help and both felt that there was an instant connection.

After talking online and on the phone for months, Chris finally came and visited Josh in Minneapolis. Eventually, Chris would move to Minneapolis and from there Josh and Chris were inseparable. They built a life there and kept each other happy and warm in the frozen tundra that is Minnesota. Josh & Chris eventually moved back to Houston to be near family and to thaw out.

A few Christmases later, while walking through River Oaks looking at Christmas lights, Josh got down on one knee and popped the question under a beautiful twinkly christmas-lit tree. Chris said YES, and they began to plan their wedding together.
