Chuck and Caroline met at Chuck's brother's wedding in September 2023 (see the first two pictures). Chuck was a groomsman for his brother, Philip, and Caroline was a bridesmaid for her friend, Whitney.

After several dances and nearly all the groomsmen urging Chuck to get Caroline's number, he finally asked. The couple had their first date the Thursday after the wedding, a second date that Saturday, and a third that Sunday. From there things continued at full-steam ahead. Rumor has it, Caroline asked Chuck to come to her family's home for Christmas just two weeks in! The rest - as they say - was history. Chuck proposed on May 11th, 2024 at Hermann Park.

All praise to God for directing our footsteps towards each other. We look forward to His many blessings in our lives.
