This is a page that we have created to tell everyone our story. We want everyone who is a part of our wedding to know a little history about each one of us. We also wanted to share our happiness to those who will not be able to celebrate our wedding with us.
Crissy was born in Newport News, VA and raised in York County and Gloucester VA. She graduated from Virginia Tech in May 2006 with a degree in Biology and Biotechnology. She works as a neurophysiologist for Impulse Monitoring in Richmond VA. Her hobbies are swimming, running, fishing down at the river, going to basketball games, hanging out with friends, spending time with Brandon, going on vacations and playing with Bonnie. "One thing to know about me..... hmmmm.... that I'm in love!" "My life before Brandon was pretty typical. I spent time with my friends and worked hard to put myself through school. I dated a few people and thought I knew what love was. I had no idea. Not even a close glimpse of the what love was! My life after Brandon is beyond typical. I knew the first night I met him that he was different from all the other college guys. He had a way about him that was calming and easy to be around. It did not take long for me to fall head over heels. We became inseperable. He made being in love as natural as breathing. I couldn't imagine life now without him."
Brandon was born in Des Moines, IA and grew up in Lynchburg, VA. He will graduate from Virginia Tech in May 2008 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Hobbies: Hanging out with friends and family, fishing, playing sports, taking trips with Crissy. One thing to know: "I know without a doubt that she's the one for me.....and I have known it for a long time." "Before Crissy, I worked at FedEx, got up to go to work at 3:30 and never slept, to put myself through school. I hung out with friends when I had the chance and play basketball. I went home on some weekends. Watched lots of sports, that's about it. After Crissy my life completely changed. I found out what love really was and what it really felt like to be happy. I knew without a doubt she was the one, and pretty much spent every moment with her. She's actually the most amazing person I've ever met.. Basically.. I found the love of my life!!! and on top of that, She said YES."

We hope you enjoy your stay!
We are so excited to be tying the knot. We have been engaged since December of 2006 and have been anxiously awaiting this day. We have created this page to give you details about us, the wedding, and travel arrangements. Please see Personal Wedding Website for all this information. We are delighted to have already heard back from a few of you who are able to make it and have no hard feelings for those of you who can not. Virginia is a long way away for some of you! and we're still thrilled that you will be thinking of us on this special day. We're having a small ceremony with close friends and family. Be ready to have fun in the sand and dance the night away. We have chosen to go to Puerto Rico for a cruise on our honeymoon. It's been over two years since we've gotten a chance to spend any length of time together and we're really excited to share this moment. We're even more excited to begin our life together. We're so happy that you can be a part of this and thanks for all the support you have given us in planning this special event! (Just as a head's up the honeymoonwishes closes on May 22nd, so they have time to process everything before the honeymoon.)
