Chris and Nazir met as entry level graphic design interns at Grafik Marketing Communications in Alexandria, VA. Both bright eyed and bushy tailed, and ready to conquer the world of design, at that time in their lives, they were both focused on making it big as designers. In their shared time at Grafik, Chris and Nazir were unwillingly pitted against one another to compete for a single junior designer position, that would become available at Grafik. Bound by friendship and mutual respect for one another, instead of competing with one another, they worked together and supported each other through the early beginnings of their careers. Grafik was so pleased with Chris and Nazir’s teamwork, they decided to hire them both. Chris accepted the offer while Nazir had other plans. Fast forward about 11 years, multiple jobs, degrees, cities and relationships later — Chris and Nazir reconnected on the West coast, and their romance began in the Spring of 2014. Having experienced the ups and downs, the joys and laughter, and having overcome the trials and tribulations that come with committed, long term relationships, Chris and Nazir are now ready to vow their lifelong commitment to one another in front of all those they love.
