How We Met

Kris & Elyse met in 2019 while Kris was doing a supplement tasting for his new business at Loftus Rec gym. Kris promptly ran to his car to get Elyse to try a "strong" pre work out. Elyse then became an ambassador for Kris' business and it only took Kris a short month of great banter to ask Elyse on a date.

The Proposal

Elyse was planning her big 30th birthday party while Kris was busy designing a ring and measuring Elyse's finger while she slept. 
Kris put together a nervously heart felt speech, got down on one knee and proposed in front of family & friends. Elyse was so happy and excited she could barely get out a yes.
They celebrated with Elyse's family and friends that night with shots of sambuca & lemoncello.

Wedding Party
