The Couple
Meet the Bride & the Groom
Wayne Scire
GroomHey everyone, I'm Wayne! If you ask Christy, she'd probably say I'm funny (at least most of the time), laid-back, and genuinely easy-going. I've got an adventurous spirit, but I'm also perfectly happy enjoying cozy days at home, gaming or diving into tech projects. I'm deeply passionate—whether it's about technology, gaming, or most importantly, the people I care about—and fiercely protective of those I love.
What I Love About Christy
One of the things I adore most about Christy is her incredibly adventurous Sagittarius spirit. She's always excitedly planning our next adventure or dreaming up something new for us to experience. Her enthusiasm for life constantly inspires me to step outside of my comfort zone, giving me the gentle push I sometimes need to break away from my Capricorn comfort of home. At the same time, I've become her grounding force, helping calm her restless spirit when needed—creating a perfect balance between us.
Our Best Moments
Some of our best moments are the simplest: laughing so hard our bellies hurt at jokes only we seem to instantly understand, or winding down together after a tough day. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping her relax with a foot rub or neck massage, knowing it brings her comfort and makes her smile.
Christy has always been my greatest supporter, especially during life's toughest moments. Her unwavering emotional support carried me through some challenging times, showing me a love deeper than I ever thought possible. That's when I knew she was my forever person. Her optimism, bubbly personality, and creative outlook never fail to amaze me and always lift my spirits.
Our Special Traditions
She's the creative genius behind our special traditions, like themed dinners for our favorite shows—medieval feasts for House of Dragons or sushi nights for Shogun. Whether we're binge-watching Death Note (which she convinced me to watch and now love anime because of it), Game of Thrones (which I convinced her to her to watch and now she loves it), or the latest Marvel movie or show (which I have to drag her to sometimes), there's nothing better than ordering takeout and settling in for an evening together.
She lovingly teases me about my endless collection of tech gadgets and wires scattered around my office, and she'll tell you that my inquisitive eyebrow twitch always makes her smile. We've shared countless adventures over the past decade—from spontaneous road trips fulfilling childhood dreams like attending E3, to simpler days spent fishing by the lake or exploring Boston.
I already call Christy my wife, but I can't wait to make it official. I'm excited to plan more adventures, attend conventions, and continue building our life together. She truly is my best friend, my greatest inspiration, and forever the love of my life.
Christy Eckles
BrideHi, I'm Christy! Most people see me as quiet—at least at first—but those who truly know me see my playful, spontaneous, and adventurous side. I believe in laughing until your belly hurts, finding joy in life's smallest moments, and adding a creative spark wherever I go, whether that's through crafting, geocaching, or diving passionately into my video games (sometimes a little too passionately!).
Our Adventures Together
One special memory that captures this perfectly was the first time Wayne joined me for geocaching. While he solved the puzzle faster than I did (which sparked my competitive side!), exploring together and uncovering hidden gems quickly became one of our favorite adventures. Speaking of adventures, Wayne lovingly teases me about my deep passion for plants—equivalent, he jokes, to his obsession with tech gear. Yes, I once zipped a new monstera plant into my jacket in December just to keep it warm, which Wayne found adorably hilarious!
What Makes Me, Me
By day, I work as a residential nurse, caring for adults with disabilities. For me, caring isn't just a profession; it's woven into who I am. Showing kindness, listening intentionally, and helping others isn't something I just do—it's something I deeply believe in.
Wayne and I didn't meet in a traditional way; instead, it started with a simple swipe. At that time in my life, I was going through a tough period and was unsure if true love was even meant for me. But Wayne changed all that. He believed, like I did, that marriage is sacred, a promise to protect your partner's heart fiercely. The way he spoke about love and commitment felt rare and deeply meaningful. In him, I found someone who understood me at my very core.
Our Journey Together
Nearly ten years later, our adventures have grown richer, and our bond even deeper. Whether it's spontaneously driving through Arkansas hunting diamonds or combing Florida beaches for shark teeth, our quirky adventures have been unforgettable. Wayne lovingly ensures I feel special every day—from sending sweet texts to making sure I'm cozy with snacks and video games after a long workday. He spoils me in ways big and small, making everyday moments feel magical.
Wayne has taught me invaluable lessons about confidence, encouraging me to speak up, embrace who I am, and dance unapologetically to the beat of my own drum. With him, I've learned it's okay to be myself without worrying what others might think.
As Husband and Wife
As we prepare to make our love official, what excites me most is continuing our story as big kids at heart. We can speak to each other without words, bursting into laughter from across the room just by sharing a glance. Our love is passionate, safe, yet endlessly adventurous, and I can't wait to keep writing our story—hand in hand, hearts full.
