These two were crossing paths long before their first date, with proof of them in the same selfie taken by a friend the summer of 2021 at a gala. The initial flame didn't ignite until officially meeting at The Olmsted in February of 2022 at ANOTHER gala.

Although Miranda caught his eye at the gala and they closed the dance floor with friends, it took several months of cat and mouse, and Miranda deciding to stay in Louisville instead of moving out of state, until someone made the first move... in November of 2022, Miranda finally made the first move and asked Charlie on a date. Since then, they have visited National Parks, traveled abroad, and most recently took on one of the most intense of trips to one of Miranda’s favorite places – Disney World!

After secretly planning a proposal in front of Cinderella Castle, one day while watching a Disney World commercial, Miranda at random said that she would NOT like her engagement to be in front of Cinderella Castle. The pressure was now on for this guy who hadn’t been to Disney in 20 years!

He strategically asked Miranda lots of questions about the trip and planned a proposal at The Contemporary Resort before their dinner at California Grill. Before proposing, they were called "Mr. and Mrs. Todd" at the bar, and Miranda wondered why since she didn't have a ring yet. Charlie misdirected her by saying that he would have to save up money before buying a ring but proceeded to propose very soon after!

They celebrated with champagne and watching the Happily Ever After firework show from the top of The Contemporary, and cannot wait to celebrate their wedding with family and friends!
