Christian’s best birthday gift was when Melody’s roommate took her to his 21st party where they met and soon became inseparable. After Melody’s graduation they took a trip to Catalina Island where Christian proposed win a ring in a special koala carved jewelry box. The same box was used to carry their rings down the isle in their ceremony at The Japanese Friendship Garden. The vintage travel themed décor was a perfect touch to start their future together as a military couple.
