Chase and I met when we were just kids around 15 or 16 years old through my friend Tori (his cousin). He was so shy and didn't talk much, but he was always around. From softball tournaments to hanging out at Tori's. Life happened and we grew apart, but always remained friends through social media and talked every now and then. It wasn't until about 12 years later that he reached out to me to hangout. So, on my way to work one night, we met up for 30 minutes in the Kohls parking lot. He was so nervous I thought he was going to faint! We both instantly had a connection though. We have been inseparable ever since! He is my absolute best friend! 8 months later, he proposed, and it was the easiest "yes" I've ever said! I'm so excited to make our blended family one big one! Chase is so kind, so patient and so committed to his family and loved ones. He makes me want to be the best version of myself. I'm so blessed to have finally found my person and I can't wait to be his wife!
