Michael and Chrys’ journey began in 2022 when Chrys visited the UK for the first time. The two spent a weekend in Edinburgh together and realised how well they got along. When Michael came to Denver for a friend’s wedding, he offered to buy Chrys a plane ticket so they can spend more time together. She got her ticket and went to see him in Colorado. Michael never paid her back for her plane ticket.

After endless texts and 231 hours of video calls, they decided to take the leap of faith and made it official. Even with the distance and the fact that there were no direct flights from Las Vegas to Edinburgh, Michael and Chrys somehow managed thanks to the advancements of technology (and multiplayer video games). Their relationship involved a lot of crying at airports, countdowns and very expensive plane tickets. So instead of commuting every 2-3 months to see one another, Chrys decided she was the bigger simp and moved to Edinburgh permanently to be with Michael.

On 6 April 2024, Michael and Chrysanti legally tied the knot in Scotland in a small ceremony. You can watch the livestream of the ceremony on our wedding website michaelandchrys.com/livestream.
