Chase and Hannah’s story begins as all old fashioned love stories begin… with a match on a dating app! Their first date was in February 2024 at Fat Pants Brewing, the next week, the two went to Top Golf with friends. Hannah and Chase both knew what they were looking for in a relationship, and quickly realized they had the qualities they were looking for in one another. From there the two spent nearly every weekend together, and found time to navigate the 45 minute commute between Blaine and Burnsville.

In April, they went to a Tim McGraw concert which would become the first of many concerts together. Summer of 2024 would be filled with weekends together, going to Saints baseball games, road trips to visit friends, weddings and Chase teaching Hannah how to golf! In August, Hannah went to her first Gopher football game with the Wood family, the next morning they hopped on a flight to Tampa Bay, Florida for their first vacation together. It was probably around this time that Chase knew he was going to marry Hannah.

In October, Hannah took Chase to Mexico. His first time out of the country! It may have rained three of the five days, but memories were made that will last a lifetime! Over their first year together, Hannah began to see that Chase was fitting into her life better than she could have imagined. As winter came, the two spent their first holidays together, and on New Year's Day they started to look at engagement rings. What a way to start 2025!

In March, while Hannah was out of town, Chase made the drive down to Byron, MN to ask Hannah’s parents if he could marry their daughter (they said yes). The next day, he went and bought that engagement ring! Chase held on to that ring for three months.

June 20th brought them to a concert in Mankato. Before the concert Chase took Hannah to a park just outside of town, up on a bridge overlooking the river and got down on one knee and proposed. She said YES! Hannah could not have been more surprised and excited to marry the love of her life! The two spent the next summer months wedding planning and learning how to frame walls as they finished the basement in Chase’s house. He sold the house and the two moved into a townhome together in Farmington.

After ten short months in the townhome, Chase and Hannah were ready to move on to bigger and better things! They purchased a house in Lakeville with a big backyard for the dogs and a place to call home!

They have been patiently waiting for their big day on October 9th, 2026 to get married and celebrate with their friends and family!
