Christine here! We met in 2018 while working at North Carolina A&T State University, both as athletic trainers. 2 weeks into working together and I announced to Ben that we were going to be best friends…. A bold move on my part, (he was wary at my proclamation of friendship to be sure) but it worked out okay in the end because we have been BFFs until 2021 when we both took career changes which brought us to Raleigh. We’re still BFFs, don’t worry, but we started dating which was better :) How does a quiet guy end up falling for a loud Reichert girl? Well I don’t know. BUT, I do know we bonded immediately over our dogs, our careers, our faith, our sense of humor, our sarcasm, our… well everything really. Turns out we were a whole lot more alike then any could have guessed which is why it works :) We couldn’t be happier to be getting married. Our beagle, Darla could care less since we’re not edible, but Zuko is happy to have someone to tug a war with. But together, we make a little pawfect family ! (Haha, Puns!)
