Maho Bay, Sint Maarten

Monique
& Christopher

Sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it. Our story began on a Facebook dating app during a time of big changes for both of us. Monique was relocating from New Jersey during the pandemic, looking for a fresh start and a new adventure. Chris had just moved from Rossville, GA to the bustling city of Atlanta for a career opportunity.

What started as a simple connection quickly grew into something extraordinary. From our very first conversations, we knew there was something special between us. Over the years, we’ve shared laughter, adventures, and countless unforgettable moments.

Recently, we celebrated our four-year anniversary—a milestone that marks just the beginning of our journey together. As we plan to say “I do,” we’re filled with joy, excitement, and gratitude for our version of a love like no other. Here’s to many more years of happiness, growth, and love.
