Chase and I met in the fall of 2017 at Assumption College. We had many mutual friends and our paths always crossed, yet we never said hi to each other. It wasn't until one of those mutual friends formally introduced us that we decided it wouldn't hurt to say hello when we passed by. Saying "hi" turned into, "what are you doing" which then turned into "let's grab some dinner." After many months of getting to know each other and figuring out if we wanted to try a long-distance relationship once summer came along, Chase and I decided we would make it work, no matter what. We have been together "officially" since the fall of 2018. Out of the 5 years we have been together, about 3 of them were long-distance. It was not easy, but when we did see each other, it was that much more special. After a trial run of living together in California, we knew we wanted to be together but just not across the country from our family and friends. In the fall of 2022, we decided enough is enough and moved in together to South Carolina, where Chase had a job opportunity. Since then, we got a puppy and bought a house! We are so excited to continue our love story and share our special day with the ones who mean the most to us.
