We met at Morristown High School as freshman. We were both in the "Science Academy" Program- nerdy we know. We were friends throughout high school and started dating in the fall of senior year and ended high school as senior prom dates.
We had plans to visit home for Marisa's birthday weekend in 2022. On Saturday October 1, 2022, Marisa was surprised by the most beautiful setting of candles and white roses in the backyard of Christian's childhood home. He had pulled off the biggest and best surprise she'd ever experienced, and topped it off with the most beautiful ring. The rest is history.
