Our True Love Story

Just like Pam and Jim from NBC's Emmy award winning sitcom, Chris and Ellen met at.."The Office." On the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2016, a bright-eyed young man fresh out of college would report for his first day at his new job. As he was shown around the office, he came to a cubical with a name plate that read, "Ellen Selley". Ellen wasn't there that day, so Chris put his belongings on the desk as he was informed that this is where he would be sitting and that this "Ellen" character would be training him before she moved onto a new role. After Chris arrived for his second day at his new job, he was greeted by his boss and shown again to his cubical, only this time the occupant of the cubical, Ellen Selley, was there. "This is Ellen" stated his boss. Ellen would train Chris for a few weeks before moving to a new role that took her to a different location. For now their paths separated. However, about a year later, their paths would cross again when Ellen's assignment took her back to her old location where she would work alongside Chris. As the two spent time together, chemistry grew and friendly chatter evolved into flirtatious banter. Until one day, Chris mustered up the courage to ask his then co-worker "Want to grab some sushi tonight?" And the rest is history.
