You're the best thing I've ever found on the internet <3

Chase and I found each other on the dating site, BUMBLE in the spring of 2018. The funny thing about Bumble is that once you "match" with each other, the girl must message the guy first and then the guy has 24 hours to respond. If he doesn't respond in 24 hours, the "match" goes away FOREVER. Chase was on a boys' golf trip to Arizona for his 30th birthday when I sent my first message and responded JUST in the nic of time, but not without giving me a little bit (OK, A LOT of bit) of a scare!

Not long after, we went on our first date to Young Joni pizzeria in Minneapolis. After laying a smooch on me in the photo-booth onsite, the rest is history. I remember being on cloud nine that night, and over the last six years Chase has made sure that I've never come down.

A lot has changed for us in these last few years. We enjoyed living downtown in Chase's condo, traveled, adopted a fur-baby (Brighton), moved to the suburbs, and bought a house in December of 2022. After buying a house together, I joked that since we had 30 years together - we may as well make it forever. Little did I know, that is what Chase already had planned. On December 16, 2022 he asked me to marry him on the beach in Orange County, CA with his parents and sister there to celebrate. Wedding planning has been so much fun and we CANNOT wait to celebrate our forever with family and friends on June 15th! We KNOW it will be a GALA to remember!
