Engagement Profile : Chris and Mhari

How did the two of you meet? Tell us about your first date.

We met at Chick Fil A while we were both working there. Our first date wasn’t an actual first date, I called Chris and asked him if he wanted to go get La Parrilla and the next couple of dates were at La Parrilla as well. We didn’t count the times we went on break together at Chick Fil A as dates, but it was often. Our managers at CFA told us we were going to get married and neither one of us believed it, until now.  

How did he propose? Did you know it was coming?

We drove around Bostwick for majority of the day, and if you have ever been to Bostwick there is not much of anything there. I knew it was coming because I helped design the ring, but I had no idea that it was going to happen, I had a hunch but after driving to 3 different places I figured it wasn’t going to happen, but then it did.

When did you know that he/she was “the one”?

M - We had been friends for a while and both enjoyed each other’s company, and started hanging out almost every day. It was about 6 months after we had been together, and I realized that I couldn’t see myself with anyone else. That’s when I knew who I was going to marry.

C- A few weeks after we started dating I had been hanging out with Mhari for a few days in a row and I remember thinking to myself “I could get used to this.” Just the fact that I knew that she would always be there for me whenever I need her was something that I never really had and I could just tell that there was something constantly pulling me to her.

How did you hear about T.K. Anderson Designs?

My Cousin actually designed his wife’s ring with you all.

What was your favorite part about working with the T.K. Anderson team?

The freedom to design anything – well with in reason and they were so good at listening to the ideas that I had for my ring.

Bride, what do you like most about your new ring?

The band – the braided rope is incredible I get a bunch of compliments on it, and its unique and special and the ring has a great significance.

What are you most excited for in your future together?

M- I’m excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend & partner in crime, I’m also excited to see what God has in store for us – Life will throw curve balls but as long as I know I have someone who is genuine and caring, I’ll be okay – and it’s even better due to having my best friend.

C- I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life joking around and laughing with my best friend. Even when I tell a really bad joke Mhari usually will still laugh at it (usually because it’s just that bad). I’m also super excited just to be starting a family with the person I love.
