Doug Christie was born in Seattle Washington , and is a 15-year veteran basketball player in the NBA. Although he has enjoyed a stellar career, he is now adding "Author" to his growing list of achievements. Basketball is Doug's 1st love. He also enjoys fishing and golfing in his spare time.

Like Doug, Jackie Christie is a Seattle native. She is a fashion designer and is now proud to add "Author" to her repertoire. Jackie realized her passion for fashion as a child and is an avid reader. She has always aspired to be a writer and now has realized a dream.

Jackie and Doug's story is one of love at first sight. They are best friends and soul mates who share what they call "infinite love"--the kind of love that can never be broken. Although their marriage has been publicly criticized by the sports media, the couple's love remains strong, due in part to prayer, and the strength and comfort they find in one another. Each year, in celebration of their love, Doug and Jackie remarry with a full wedding ceremony where they renew their vows to each other.
