How We Met
Victoria and Mike met online in June 2018, and started dating shortly after. The first date was a bit awkward (more on that another time), but at the end of the night we had made a serious connection, and it wasn't long before we were officially dating.
We quickly bonded over our shared love of Gilmore Girls, and started sharing some of their other favorites with each other: Victoria got Mike watching One Tree Hill and Vanderpump Rules, and Mike showed her every Marvel movie (just in time for them to see Avengers: Endgame together on opening weekend).
We have two dogs, Wrigley and Luke, and they are the very best boys (except when they are total troublemakers).
We love going to the beach and reading to each other before bed every night - we've read Neil Gaiman's American Gods and Norse Mythology, and have just started Stephen Fry's Mythos.
The Proposal
In August 2019, Mike and Victoria went to visit the Warner Bros. lot on a private tour! We got to take pictures outside the Ellen stage, saw galleries of props and costumes from old WB movies, and went to the actual Central Perk set from Friends! Then we got to Stars Hallow from Gilmore Girls, and of course we had to take a photo on the gazebo.
Which is when one of MIke's friends emerged with a guitar, playing our song, and Mike got down on one knee and proposed! Victoria said yes, and the two of us went to dinner where Mike surprised her yet again with a bunch of their friends and family, ready to celebrate the engagement. We very glad that the next time we fly together, Mike never again has to ask, "Can my girlfriend come?"
The Wedding!
After lots of planning and several different wedding dates (thanks, COVID), we finally did it! We have officially become the newest Christensens.
We tied the knot in August 2021 in Monterey, California surrounded by our family and friends. We danced the night away, played some roulette and blackjack, ate soooooo much food, and started our new life as Mr. and Mrs. Christensen.
(We'll have some future posts about our wedding, our planning, and some cool tricks we learned along the way.)
I know you all are thinking: What's next? Well, I guess that's a question you will have to wait to find out the answer to... What we can tell you is that there are some pretty exciting things coming our way, and you'll want to stay up to date with what we have coming up.
Love,
The Christensens
