how we met
Although technically we worked for the same company at the same time (for just 1 month), we are together today because of a couple of friends. In July of 2000, Joules brought (dragged, whatever you want to call it  :) Christina along to a party at Darren's house, and from that day on, he knew Christina was the girl for him.
when and how we got engaged
We got engaged on Christmas morning, December 25, 2001.

Then I gave him a big hug, and then said, "Yes, of course I will!" – the longer version »
