Maria Carroll
Flower Fairy
Maria and Christopher had love at first sight. Their extroverted energies welded together and naturally they just clicked. They have made some incredible memories together, especially in Epcot. As they’ve grown, they have mellowed out (you’re welcome everyone) but when they’re together there still may be that infectious loud energy.

Rachel Borczuch
Christopher’s Bridesmaid
Rachel met Christopher in their Theatre Survey class at WCU (what’s the purpose of that class you ask? Honestly I still couldn’t tell you). Fun fact - they both initially didn’t see a friendship blooming the way it did until… actually she’s not sure it kinda just happened. There were many sleepovers, sleepless nights, beautiful artistic discoveries, and priceless memories. This was especially true as roommates senior year, which happened to be when Christopher and John started dating. Rachel and Christopher experienced the end times living together (aka covid-19), where their bond continued to grow as did the bond of the couple of the hour as John was in the beloved 619 bubble and visited often. Rachel had the honor of seeing their love blossom there and later in life as she claimed the couch at their apartment, her second home. She’s always looked forward to this day because Christopher deserves all the love the world has to give, and John brings that and more. She wishes Christopher and John a partnership that’s as long as Ru Paul’s legs and as fruitful as Ru Paul’s bank account.
Samantha Stewart
Christopher’s Bridesmaid
Samantha and Christopher grew their friendship in their passion for theatre education together. They have spent countless hours discussing passion projects and even tried to jumpstart their own program. When they were living together in 619, they locked away many memories of late nights, singing duets, and playing board games. Samantha is a huge reason as to why Christopher loves board games as much as he does today. "
Josh Waltz

Jessie Hazell
Christopher’s Bridesmaid
Chris and Jessie met in the Fall of 2018 and instantly their goofy energy bonded. They performed together through various college theatre shows and ended up running a BC/EFA Benefit together. Although they were paired up together for multiple school leadership roles, they made a dynamic pair keeping the work fun! Through their time in college, they spent almost every day together whether they were at rehearsal, at the library, or just hanging out. Chris's friendship means so much to Jessie because he was always the person she could turn to for advice or help. Chris was such a positive role model in Jessie's college career and she is so grateful to have found a life-long friend like Chris.
