Emma and Chase's journey began in middle school in England, where they first met and became friends. Though life pulled them in different directions when Chase moved away right before high school, fate wasn't finished with their story.

Eight years later, after Chase completed his service in the Coast Guard, he moved back to Phoenix. They reconnected and soon went on their first date to Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch. As they spent more time together exploring Arizona's natural beauty – camping on Mt. Lemmon and visiting the Grand Canyon – they quickly fell in love.

They endured a year of long-distance when Emma lived in Flagstaff, but they emerged stronger. Alongside their cats, Ringo and Binx, they welcomed their first dog, Cowboy, into their lives. Eventually, both settled in Tucson and moved in together, building a mountain of happy memories over the years.

After 3½ years of dating, during a trip to Sedona, Chase led Emma on an impromptu hike. Standing on an overlook with Sedona spread below them, Chase asked Emma to marry him.

Though they've known for a long time that they wanted to spend their lives together, they're thrilled to begin this next chapter and are excited to celebrate with you at their wedding in Tucson on October 25th!
