A shy kid from Delaware. An outgoing girl from San Diego. For the first 24 years of their lives, it seemed like a long shot they would ever even meet.

Then Chuck started a job as an intern in the Monmouth University Athletics department in 2015.

Not long after, Suzi was ready for a change after working as a news reporter in Montana. In August of 2016, she descended upon West Long Branch, New Jersey, and moved into a cubicle across the room from Chuck. After months of small talk about their shared love of space, Chuck decided to step up his game. He knew what had to be done.

At a Monmouth soccer game one night, he approached Suzi with his phone in hand.

"My family just got a new puppy, want to see a picture?"

That picture eventually earned Chuck the chance to take Suzi out for a first date. It was almost the last date, however, after a "miscommunication" resulted in a late pick up for dinner. Some sources say Chuck was 10 minutes late. Some say it was an hour and a half. Either way, Suzi was ready to call it quits. Against all odds, a chocolate covered strawberry order from Edible Arrangements the next day changed the course of history, and Suzi decided to give Chuck another chance.

Since then, Chuck and Suzi have been inseparable, except for that time a global pandemic forced them to be long distance for a couple of years.

Throughout the last nine years together, they have made incredible memories, including but not limited to hanging out with their cat Lenny Bruce, going Instagram official at the San Diego Zoo, fist pumping at Jersey Shore bars, Christmas trips in New York City, dressing up as Seth and Evan from Superbad for Halloween, birthday dinners at Chili's, trips to Hawai'i, Disneyland, Yosemite National Park, watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl (twice), and getting engaged in dreamy Carmel-By-The-Sea, California.

They decided they liked these memories so much that they want them to continue. Forever.

And now they are inviting their closest family and friends to commemorate that decision. All thanks to Chuck's dog Kenzie and Edible Arrangements.
