Abigail Jepson and Christopher Thomas' Wedding Website
For those that don't know, we met on bumble May 2022. If it wasn't for Chris extending my time for a message to be sent we wouldn't be here today. In the beginning so many things were working against us. I ended up with covid and in the hospital for a week getting my gallbladder removed. I'm shocked he stuck it out those few weeks and still wanted to get together. When we finally met, it was like we've known each other our whole lives. I was so comfortable around him from the get go. I remember a few weeks went by and standing in the kitchen my mom told me "you're going to marry him." I told her to pump the brakes! About a week later, I snapchatted Kait telling her I think I loved Chris and later that day Chris told me he loved me for the first time. From the day we met we have never spent a weekend apart. Early July is when I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. We enjoyed our first summer together, planned an out of country trip, and would talk about marriage, a wedding, and future children. That September a lot happened. Chris is terrible at keeping secrets and told me he had somewhere to go that I could NOT go with him to but couldn't come up with a good excuse. I figured it out real fast that he was ring shopping with my dad. Later that month, a day before our 4 month anniversary, our lives changed. We found out that we were going to be parents sooner than we expected. As you can imagine emotions ran high. We found out our baby was a little girl. Since we had talked about about children we already had her name picked out, Elizabeth Chase. On October 30th, laying in bed, was the morning Chris asked me to be his wife. In the pitch black room, without even seeing the ring (as my answer wouldn't have been different with a ring pop) I said "YES!" We turned the lights on and Chris told me how special the ring was. The diamond was my grandma's diamond. Chris was with me every step of our pregnancy as we had more appointments than your typical pregnancy. Watching him be so protective of me while I was carrying our daughter solidified the love I have for him. The morning of May 16th 2023, I woke up around 4:30 in the morning and wasn't sure if my water broke or not. I laid in bed quietly because I didn't want to wake Chris up incase he had to go to work because my water was actually intact. About an hour later, Chris rolled over and saw I was wide awake. He immediately asked me what was wrong. I explained and he stayed awake with me until we knew what was going on. We went to the hospital and later that night Elizabeth was born. Watching the man you love hold your daughter for the first time is a sight I will never forget. A few months went by and we found out were were expecting again. This time with a baby boy! Both of us were extremely scared as we were unsure how we would tackle two kids under one. On April 20th 2024, I went into labor and had an emergency c-section. Benjamin spent 11 days in the NICU, which were the hardest days of my life as a mom. Having your children in two different places was not easy. Through it all, Chris was my biggest support. I know I can always count on him for his love and support. Chris is the most amazing dad and partner. I have no doubts as to the man I am marrying and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
