Once upon a time in New London, Connecticut, James’s freshman-year roommate invited Christine and some other friends over to watch a movie. There, Christine got her first look at James.
A year later, while away from college for something of a delayed gap year, James decided to study abroad in China. He headed back to Connecticut College to visit friends one more time before he left. To this day he’s not sure why, but he felt oddly interested in hanging out with Christine.
They ended up talking effortlessly for hours and hours. Time went by in an instant.
Ten years, three cities, and a whole lot of snail mail later, they traveled together to Oxford where Christine would spend the summer studying international human rights law. On a sunny July day in the Oxford Botanical Gardens, less than a mile from the movie theater where his parents first met, James asked Christine to marry him.
She said yes!
Now, twelve years after they became a pair, they’re finally getting married and can’t wait for you to celebrate with them on their big day!
