When Frankie reached out to me to take her and Chris' engagement session, I was so excited. I knew this could would be so much fun! We met up downtown Raleigh and had a blast finding urban, bright, and fun spots of the city that highlighted their fun and bubbly personalities. Frankie and Chris met online at okcupid.com, but if you ask them they will probably say it was farmers online.com. Frankie met up with Chris at a bowling alley that he worked at, because she wanted to make sure he was a real person. He was, indeed, real! 

Their first date was at the Carolina Ale House were they talked until closing time, enjoying a beer and each others company. 

After recently moving in together, Frankie and Chris decided to adopt a new kitty so their first cat could have a kitty sibling. Frankie is always cold, and so when Chris was switching out the laundry and noticed the laundry room was warm, he told her to join him. While hugging and pinching each others butts (ha!), Frankie felt Chris fiddling around with something behind his back.

When Frankie turned around, he had a ring box in one hand, and a pink plastic frog in the other. Chris' mom hid plastic frogs around their apartment when they were moving in, and included one in the ring box. The ring Chris gave to Frankie was his mothers ring, so she got to sneak one in there, too! 

Of course, Frankie said yes! Now they are tying the knot on May 4th, 2019, in true Star Wars fan fashion.
