We met at Christ Community Church. Casey was driving his pastor friend (our officiant Mike Higgins) down from St. Louis. Mike was doing some work at CCC. Rachel was on one of the teams Mike was working with, and Casey would tag along to the meetings to provide his wisdom.

Casey first noticed Rachel wearing overalls and rewriting other people's sentences. He decided to ask her out.

He tried several times but without success. There was always too many people around! Finally, he slid into her DMs.

Their first date was at Crystal Bridges. They talked, looked at art, walked on the bike trail, and ate dinner. Casey even gave Rachel his sweatshirt when she got cold. The date went so well that they met up again the next morning for coffee.

We've talked everyday since and have been traveling back and forth from Missouri to Arkansas to see one another.
