Our Story

High School Sweethearts

Diana and Christian’s love story began in the hallways of high school when Christian first asked Diana to prom. Since then they have travelled the world, developed new interests, and moved to new places but always did it together as a team. From the tiny question of “Join Me at Prom?” to the big question of “Will You Marry Me?” their relationship has blossomed into one of commitment, love, and laughter.

Together is a beautiful place to be.

A Swiss Yes

In March 2025, while traveling through the valleys of the snowcapped mountains in Switzerland, Christian popped the question in the picturesque village of Lucerne. With a hop of excitement and a tearful “Yes!” their love was immortalized in a ring that promised a loving future together forever.

A Civil in Sarasota

Four months after Switzerland, Diana and Christian cemented their love in Sarasota’s historic courthouse. With a heartfelt “I do” followed by hugs and tears with family, their love was sealed and ready for Antigua.
