Chris and Katie are 2 very interesting people!
When we met several months ago we immediately hit it off. Katie and I both hold a DEEP addiction to "THE BEAN"
And Chris and I share a love for technology.
Chris owns his own Computer repair/retail business called "CAROLINA HOME COMPUTING"
Anyway, without rambling too much, here is their story and their engagement session at the Coastal Carolina Fair!
Katie: Chris and I met in Vegas - thats Las Vegas! Well almost...my sister and his aunt work together for the company that runs the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, they have a program that lets family members work at the show (aka a free trip to VEGAS BABY!!).
Chris and I actually met at the training day in Virginia. Aunt Cindy introduced me to Chris and I talked his ear off during breaks and such, which if you know me is totally true! I remember thinking to myself that he was really cute, and how much it sucked that he lived so far away.
Chris: Although we technically first met in a conference room in Washington D.C., we didn’t truly meet until the time we spent together in Vegas. The deal was to go to Washington D.C. for a day to get trained for the job, then hop on a plane a month later and spend a paid week working the days as a directional guide for the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. But it was those Vegas nights where we really hit it off.
Out of the group of directionals for the show, we were the only two close in age, so I took a chance, worked up the courage and asked this outgoing & attractive girl out for a night in the city. After roaming sin city together that night, we knew that we would be spending our remaining nights together as well. I suppose it was the alluring combination of the flashing lights, the entertaining bars and a few great Vegas shows that brought us that much closer to one-another. 
Katie: Fast forward a month to the Vegas trip, Megan (my sister) was busy with working, and Chris and I were the only ones our ages, so we hung out all week. I was actually confused because he really seemed to want to hang out with me. We ate lunches together most days and went to see Blue Man Group (best show EVER!). We really seemed to click, and we had fun with each other (and he’s a total babe).
Well after the trip, we kept in touch through the year with facebook and phones and then went again the next year. That year, we kept in touch much better and did the long distance thing. I got sick of that and decided to make the big move (much to my family’s surprise) from Pennsylvania to South Carolina, so we could actually be together. It was the best decision that I have ever made!
Chris: But those long nights just weren’t long enough and too soon had our stay come to an end. We remained in contact over our time apart as we both lead our normal lives. However, we both vowed to return the next year and do it all over again. And again we did it, and it was even more fabulous than the first. I don’t know when it hit, but we knew that those days we would spend apart after the show would be from then-out, spent together for the rest of our lives.
