Our Story

On May 17. 2013, my boyfriend Chris asked me to marry him.  I said "yes."

Now, rewind.

Chris and I met March of 2012 during A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Baton Rouge Little Theater.  I was onstage playing the giggle, jingly courtesan "Tintinabula." Chris was behind the set playing drum kit in a little plastic bubble.  As tech week went on, I started to notice the cute drummer more and more and he started to notice me as well.  By the end of opening weekend, we had made arrangements for our first date:  A Space Balls movie night at his apartment.  The rest, they say, is history.
