When Elissa and Chris first met eyes, it was love at first sight. Chris lived next door to Elissa’s best friend Alexandra. (Alexandra also happened to work with Chris’s best friend from high school.) The group of mutual friends decided to venture out to Frankie’s Sports Bar for a happy hour on a Friday night in 2010. Elissa had to leave early and didn’t get to talk much to Chris, but she told her friend that she thought he was cute before heading home. Two weeks later, Elissa and Alexandra went to a crawfish boil. Alex texted Chris and told him to come and it completely surprised Elissa when he walked in. They spent the rest of the party together and getting to know each other. When the party ended, Alexandra claimed she “didn’t have room” for Elissa in her car, so Chris offered to take her home. They stopped by Mi Cocina, shared fajitas, and decided to end the night at Frankie’s. Chris proposed on bended knee at Turtle Creek with the beautiful ring they had designed together.
Chris graduated from Southern Methodist University and majored in engineering. He works at Lockheed Martin. Elissa majored in advertising at SMU. She is a marketing brand manager at McCathern Law Firm in Dallas. They will marry Saturday, October 17, 2015 at Arlington Hall at Lee Park with a reception to follow.
