Christina + Chris

Bridal Q & A

Bride + Groom: Christina & Chris Gipe

Wedding Date: Friday, August 12th, 2011

CCS: How Did You Two Meet?

Mrs. Gipe: Christopher & I met back in high school.

CCS: How Did Chris Pop The Question

Mrs. Gipe: We knew we were going to get married and had been talking about potential places we would like to be married at. My favorite was Pelican Hill, so we decided to just go look at it one day. Chris had made an all day affair of it and took me to Laguna Beach to a nice lunch and we walked along the beach day dreaming about when we would get married. Then we drove up to Newport to see Pelican Hill. As we walked up to the wedding site, there under the rotunda were rose petals and a present. At first I thought it was for someone else, but Chris quickly said "this is for you". I opened the present to see a framed picture of the words "will you marry me?" written along the beach. When I looked up, he was down on one knee holding out a ring. I said yes without any hesitations.

CCS: How Did You Enjoy The Wedding Planning Process?

Mrs. Gipe: I loved planning my wedding! Though there were some stressful moments but Courtney made me feel at ease and took care of everything!

CCS: What Was The Most Memorable Part of Your Wedding

Mrs. Gipe: The most memorable part of the wedding was right after the ceremony. Courtney made sure to give us a moment alone, and we just both held each other overwhelmed with joy and love for one another. It was those special moments together throughout the night that were so memorable.

CCS: Now That You Have Been Through The Wedding Process, What is The One Thing You Would Change About Your Wedding?

Mrs. Gipe: After seeing my wedding come together, I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing! It was everything I had dreamt of and more. The one thing I wished I had not done was stress so much prior to the big day.

CCS: Where Are Your Now?

Mrs. Gipe: Now Chris and I are living in Laguna Niguel and have grown our family with the addition of our new puppy. We are both finishing our degrees and look forward to all that the Lord has planned for our futures.
