The moment Giffy saw Christy's smile in her display picture, he knew she was special. Christy however matched to see how much of the profile was lies, as it matched all her criteria perfectly. When we started talking we felt like teenagers again, and the conversations would last hours.
After more than a month of talking, we finally met in Houston. Giffy went in thinking it was a date, but Christy however, still calls it a casual hangout. Nothing went as planned, but it turned out perfect in its own way. In fact it went so well that we decided to meet again the next day. The night of the second date, we made a decision to be exclusive.
Handling a long distance relationship was tough, but we made it a point to meet each other often.
After 6 months of dating, we decided it was time to take our relationship to the next level. We introduced each other to our parents. Our parents welcomed us with open arms, hearts filled with love, and awkward conversations!
After months of searching, Giffy found the rock that put a glow on Christy's face. With a lot of help from all friends and family, we found the perfect venue (The Rainbow Lodge, Houston). We were also blessed by the rain gods as it did not pour down on us that day. Christy thought she was gatecrashing someone’s big day, but little did she know it was her big day. After a lot of tears and a lot of smiles she said yes! That was surprise #1. We then headed over to Cliff & Libina's house where our family and friends were waiting for the newly engaged couple, which was surprise #2.
Surrounded by our family and friends, we got engaged at St. Peter’s Catholic Church with the blessing of Father Binny Philip per religious traditions.
Some of our favorite moments caught on camera.
