Lifted Up

Chris and Brittany say they’ve really had a positive influence on one another throughout their years of dating. “He is the best man for me because he gave me a different outlook on life,” she tells us. “He has opened my heart in a way that has made me a better person.”

One Love

Who was the first of the two to say those three magic words? “He actually said ‘I love you’ first,” shares Brittany. “But, I definitely felt the same about him; I just did not know if I would frighten him or scare him off if I told him first.”

Perfect Match

Brittany’s friends and family adore Chris, and she says they couldn’t ask for anyone better fit for her. “My family says we are meant to be together,” boasts the bride-to-be. “And my friends often ask where I found him.” Congrats on finding a real keeper!
