Christine Hollibaugh & Rob O'Brien
Our Story
Rob and I met through his mother Barbara whom I worked swing shift with at Lincoln Park. Rob and I have both gotten out of a relationship about the same time. So poor Barb would come to work listening to me complain about my ex, and then have to go home and listen to her son complain about his. In jest there was suggestion of us getting together for coffee so we could each complain together about our relationship. Well, numbers were exchanged and we found out that we had a lot similar hobbies. We liked to play alot of the same video games, watch the same T.V. shows, and had the same view point on Valentines Day.
So we began dating. It was shortly after, that I found out I was pregnant and 9 months later I had a beautiful baby boy.
In December Rob and I visited the botanical garden and it was there that he proposed to me with a beautiful sapphire ring, the stone which his father had cut and shaped for him.

A Special Message From Us
I know a lot of you have been asking "Where are you registered at?" in hopes to get us a wedding gift. We are both so touched that we have such good friends and close family. As many of you know and some have seen, that our house is small and there is not much room to store things. We have all the necessities to make our house complete. If you still feel compelled to give; what would mean a lot to Rob and I is donations for a honeymoon in April.
At the wedding there will be a wishing well, but for those that like something more specific below are fun options to purchase for us as gifts!
Because gifts get broken, left unopened in basements, re-gifted, or sold in a yard sale 15 year later but memories are a gift that lasts forever.
With all that said what would really mean the most to us is to just have a day surround by the ones we love. So we hope you can make it...even though it's way up north.
