Bumble played cupid and brought Anna and Chase together, sparking a connection that was anything but ordinary. Chase swiped right on Anna first, and even though he seemed like the kind of person who'd spend every weekend outdoors, she decided to take a chance on him. Their first date was at Well-Played, a cozy board game cafe that set the perfect backdrop for their growing, nerdy bond. Fast forward to Hurricane Helene, when Anna had a grand romantic plan to propose to Chase at a charming Hobbit-themed Airbnb. However, after weeks of no power and water, she decided to pivot to an overnight trip to Greenville. Still, she wasn't deterred from her mission. Instead of a picturesque Airbnb proposal, she popped the question while they were watching The Fellowship of the Ring and building Arwen and Aragorn Legos. At the moment Arwen gifts Aragorn the Evenstar, Anna pulled out a ring inspired by the design of Arwen's necklace. She told Chase that she'd rather spend one lifetime with him than pass all the ages of the world alone. It was as magical and unexpected as finding each other online. Yet fate had one more surprise in store: the Airbnb trip was finally rescheduled. So, in December, Chase surprised Anna with a proposal of his own right in the middle of another Lord of the Rings marathon. It was an epic beginning to a lifelong journey.
