How We Met

Chloe` and Logan first crossed paths in the fall of 2016 at Hahnville High School. He was a senior in the engineering program; she was a junior in the culinary program. Their story began in the Satellite Center parking lot. Chloe` spotted Logan stepping out of his black Ford truck and told her friend, “That boy is so cute!” Thanks to a little matchmaking by their mutual friend, Chloe` and Logan connected on Snapchat. From that day on, they talked nonstop and saw each other every day before class. Logan began driving Chloe` home from school, and their friendship quickly turned into something more.

The Early Years

From bonfires and school dances to Logan’s go-kart races and holiday gatherings with both families, Chloe` and Logan created countless memories together during their first year. Even their families clicked right away after meeting at the Alligator Festival—and have been best friends ever since. When Logan pulled off a hilarious Homecoming proposal with a sombrero and a sign that read, “Let’s Taco ‘Bout Homecoming,” Chloe` said yes with a shy smile and a full heart.

Distance and Growth

After Logan graduated and moved five hours away to attend Louisiana Tech University, the couple tried long distance while Chloe` finished her senior year of high school. Despite their best efforts, the distance was hard, and they eventually decided to break up—though they stayed close friends. Over the next few years, Chloe` pursued her dream of becoming a teacher while Logan focused on engineering, joining a fraternity, and continuing to race go-karts. They lived separate lives and dated other people, but something between them never fully faded.

Finding Our Way Back

In 2021, Logan moved back home after graduation. Both newly single, he and Chloe` reconnected at his graduation crawfish boil—just as friends, at first. But that didn’t last long. They went on “friendly” dates, watched Love Island over FaceTime when Chloe` had Covid, and eventually shared their second first kiss. On August 3rd, 2021, Logan asked Chloe` to be his girlfriend again, and from there, everything just felt right.

The Adventure Continues

Together, they moved into Logan’s first apartment in Baton Rouge, cleaned up hurricane debris with family, traveled for races, and shared so many milestones. Chloe` finished student teaching and graduated from Nicholls. Logan supported her every step of the way. In 2023, they made a big move to Ann Arbor, Michigan for Logan’s dream job in the automotive industry. It was the first time they’d live together—and the first time Chloe` moved out of her parents’ house. They created a new home with their dog Enzo and their new kitten, Juno (a birthday surprise from Logan!), and Chloe` found a teaching job nearby.

The Proposal

On November 30th, 2024, Logan picked Chloe` up from the airport after her Thanksgiving trip home. When they arrived back at their house, he told her to stay in the car—an unusual request that had her very confused.

Inside, Logan had transformed their home into a full-blown Christmas wonderland, knowing it was Chloe`’s favorite holiday. Garland wrapped the ceiling, lights glowed, snowflakes covered the walls, and the tree sparkled with ribbon. On their photo wall were pictures of the two of them—from 2016 to now. Then Chloe` spotted a bouquet of white roses, her favorite candies, a box, and a card on the coffee table. The card read, “To future Mrs. McDonough.” As she turned around, Logan was already on one knee. Before he could say a word, Chloe` tackled him, yelling “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

(Side note: Logan forgot to hit record on the camera he set up—but they’ll never forget the moment.)

Now and Forever

Since then, they’ve been wedding planning, visiting family, traveling, and building a life full of love, laughter, and pets. Their story has had chapters of distance, change, and growth—but through it all, one thing remained true..

It was always you!
