Christina had Chris at "hello."
Actually, they were playing cards with people on the ski trip, so his first words to her were, "Put down a card, Renee." Like the rest of America, he thought she looked like Renee Zellweger—so that was his opening line. (Christina thought he had a great smile like Tom Cruise...haha.) Long story short, Chris worked it out so that the two of them ended up skiing together the next day. On the ski lift, Christina learned that Chris was a programmer at Bloomingdale's, and he in turn was thrilled to find out she had previously worked for Bloomingdale's through an ad agency and showed interest in working there again. He "promised" to get her a job. Chris is a very nice guy anyway, but this was definitely another tactic to "woo" Christina his way...and it worked!
Back to Killington, Vermont.
That Saturday night Chris and Christina ended up staying up late in the lodge and watching an old episode of Family Ties—the one where Uncle Ned (Tom Hanks) punches Alex (Michael J. Fox) and he goes flying over the table. This couple knew they had the same sense of humor when they couldn't stop laughing over the stupidest things.
Back in New York.
After that, Chris and Christina met up in New York where they both lived at the time. Christina knew Chris really liked her when he would come to visit her all the way in Astoria, Queens. A few months later, she moved in with friends in Manhattan, and their relationship grew...and grew.
California, Here We Come!
In 2005, Chris and Christina decided to take a leap and move out to California together. They quit their jobs and drove across the entire country in just two weeks! They've moved every year since then (within San Francisco) and are now in their third home together. Only this time they purchased it and are staying for a while! Chris and Christina were engaged in April 2007 in Lake Tahoe.
There's so much more to our story, but you have to come to the wedding to find out the rest!
