It all started 10 years ago when Tom and Chandler met at Los Alamitos High School through mutual friends and their friendship quickly turned into hanging out more, non-stop texting and realizing they both had feelings for each other. Tom then asked Chandler to be his girlfriend on January 12, 2014.

In their early years of dating they enjoyed adventuring down to Laguna Beach, going on dinner dates to their favorite restaurants (especially sushi), taking the boat out at Leone's lake house in Havasu, family Cabo trips and snowboarding in Mammoth.

During this time they began to learn more about their families and what a special friendship their parents shared in younger days. Tom and Chandler's dads have been friends since junior high, and the parents were at each other's weddings and even baby showers!

They made their long distance relationship work during college years by facetiming and always looking forward to seeing each other when they were able to. Though not always easy, they were excited to be together in their home town again after graduating college.

After settling into their jobs they are now living together in their cute spot in Naples - Long Beach where they enjoy morning coffee runs and living by the water.

On October 18th, 2023 Thomas proposed to Chandler in Naples during a sunset walk through the canals with their families surprising them shortly after arriving on a gondola to celebrate their engagement.

To continue their celebration of the big proposal they went on one of their most exciting trips yet to beautiful Kauai.

They are extremely grateful to all of their friends and family who have shared their journey and supported them over the years. Their love story keeps unfolding and they are so excited for you to join them as they say "I Do" in Paso Robles. See you soon!
