When Chandler and Ally first met 7 years ago, they were both lifeguarding for the summer at Ayden-Golf and Country Club. They initially became friends bonding over the struggles of broken filters and unruly kids, but that friendship soon grew. Chandler was first impressed with Ally’s patience and kindness for her younger brother, always taking time to play and listen to him. Chandler coming from a large family understands the importance of strong sibling relationships and saw Ally’s love for Aaron. She also looked up to her older brother who could intimidate Chandler quite often. Alex did not want his sister to date. Ally and Chandler spent a lot of time together that summer. With Fall coming, their time together would be ending.

Throughout September, Chandler and Ally hung out a lot. On October 5th, Chandler asked Steve, Ally’s Dad for his permission to date Ally. It was so cute. The rest is pretty much history.

They were high school sweethearts. They went to ballgames, and proms, and celebrated each other's graduations. As time passed, they embarked on their careers all the while supporting each other and maintaining their relationship. Chandler supported Ally as she survived nursing school at ECU. Ally supported Chandler as he began his professional career in real estate and insurance sales. They grew into adulthood all the while maintaining their friendship as the basis of their love.

Out of their love, they adopted Ella, the cutest Goldendoodle. Their love for Ella has grown over the last 4 years of her life. Ella is the cutest and smartest dog around.

Throughout their years together, they have discovered their shared passions for ECU football, Notre Dame football, traveling, long beach days, and spending time with family. The best part is that they still love spending every day together in this thing we call life.

The best part of spending the rest of their life together is doing it with a best friend. Looking forward to all the new adventures together and growing in their love for each other. Every day is a gift and the best gift is spending it with your best friend.
