Maggie:
Chase and I first met in February 2020 when I invited him to join me at youth group at Trinity Church. From the very beginning, he was such a joy to be around—he could make me laugh like no one else. Every time I was with Chase, I never doubted how much he loved me. He had this incredible way of making me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world.
On September 27, 2023, Chase asked me to be his girlfriend, and I’m so proud I said yes. Little did I know that just a few months later, on January 27, 2024, he would ask me to marry him. I couldn’t be more grateful for the relationship we share—it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Chase:
February 19, 2020, was the first night we met—a Wednesday evening at church. That night, I fell hard for sweet Maggie and never looked back. It’s been a long journey to get where we are today, but I wouldn’t change a single thing.
Over the years, we tried to start something, but it never seemed to work out. Still, neither of us gave up. Fast forward to 2022, when I started the fire academy, and Maggie and I began spending time together again. This time, she got to meet Josh and Andy (and let me tell you, these two were in my ear about how I needed to keep her around because she was such a perfect match for me). Turns out, they were right—imagine that.
Then came August 13, 2023, when we started our final chapter together—our forever story with no ending in sight. Maggie, I’m beyond thankful to have had this chance with you, and I’m even more grateful that it worked out the way it did. I love you, and I can’t wait to marry you!
