By the looks of their quirky spin on the classic “American Gothic” pose, Chris and Brooke have a lot of fun together. They live in Baton Rouge, LA, where Brooke works as a social worker in the child welfare field and Chris works for the State in coastal restoration. They enjoy drinking Chris’s homebrew and hanging out with their dogs Isabel and Randy. The couple met through Brooke’s mom, Becky, back in 2004. They got engaged in November 2011 and plan to have a small ceremony with family followed by a raucous party at Beauvoir Park in Baton Rouge in April 2013.
