Our story began when Chase was studying abroad in Spain in January of 2020. Chase was posting lots of pictures of his trip on Instagram. I had previously traveled to Spain before, so out of curiosity I messaged him asking where exactly in Spain he was. Yes, I slid in his DMs. After talking a little bit about his trip, Chase eventually asked me for my number. Very slick move, Chase. I gave it to him and then carried on with my day. I truly didn't think much of it. A few weeks go by and I receive a text saying “Hey, it's Chase, I'm back from Spain.” He just so happened to arrive back in the U.S. around Valentines Day. He insisted on taking me on a Valentine's date. He told me to wear something nice and be ready by 5:00. I had no idea where we were going! He ended up bringing me to a Symphony dinner that just so happened to be themed “A night in Spain.” Crazy right?! It was the most thoughtful date someone had EVER taken me on! I was a bit hesitant about going at first, but I'm SO glad I did! From that moment on, the two of us have been inseparable. Spain will always have such a special meaning behind it to us.
