Kristin + Chad's Engagements - Herndon, VA

We have all heard the saying that you catch more bees with honey than vinegar, but what about vinegar laced with honey?  An intriguing plunge of sour, but enough sweetness to keep the bee around longing for more. When Kristin and Chad first met through mutual friends at a National’s baseball game, honey and vinegar came whirling at each other like two well-choreographed tornadoes through the funnel of a “mean contest.”  According to the guillotine-tongued duo, “We were as sassy as possible to each other.”   Love at first sight...or bite.

For as much sass as these two can dole out, ultimately they just gush about one another.  To Chad, Kristin is utterly unique for her logical prowess.  Love-struck Chad declares “She is the most logical woman I have ever met.  And with that logic, she has been able to be the most compassionate and understanding person I've met.”  What distinguishes Chad for Kristin is his patience, “He has a patience that has never been matched.”  Kristin also loves Chad’s loyalty and his passion for music, “Wherever we go, Chad is drumming out a beat.” 

Chad can see past Kristin’s distractingly gorgeous looks to her talent, his favorite quality about Kristin.  “She is good at everything she does and it makes her more beautiful being able to see the passion that she has behind what she does.”

When comparing food to fiancee, Chad calls it with buffalo wings, “She is hot and spicy (and the red sauce).”  Kristin finds comfort and solace in Chad and thus he is crowned as Mac and Cheese, “There is just something comforting about an old favorite.”
