How we met…
…For gamers
One Sunday evening in 2021, Sofia was streaming on Twitch playing Subnautica 2. At the end of her stream she decided she wanted to raid someone who was also playing Subnautica 2. Out of the roughly 50 people playing she found Chris who in her words “was a super cute nerd with a beautiful voice”. At the time of the raid, Chris has no idea that the person who raided him was a girl. After looking up Sofia’s past clips and streams he found out she was a “kinda loud, cute woman with a bubbly personality”. This began a series of back and forth twitch raids and chat hangouts. A month later when Sofia was streaming FFXIV, Chris invited her to play together off stream.
…For everyone else
Chris and Sofia met playing video games on the internet in 2021.
After a couple of weeks of playing games together, Chris bought a plane ticket to fly from his home in San Diego, CA to Austin, TX to meet Sofia in person. As so many people love to say; when you know, you know. Eight months later Sofia packed up her car and cat and moved in with Chris in sunny San Diego.
In April of 2024, Chris and Sofia planned a trip to Austin to visit Sofia’s friends and to watch the solar eclipse together. Under the guise of taking Christmas card pictures in the bluebonnets (and with the help of Sofia’s sister Betsy and her best friends Maddi and Yelena), Chris proposed to Sofia in a field of bluebonnets the day before the eclipse.
After four wonderful years together we are thrilled to tie the knot. We feel so fortunate to have found a partner that brings us true, deep, and joyful love. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in December!
