Le’Ori and Chance met on December 29th, 2019, on their first date at Big Al’s. Chance, from Longview, Washington, and Le’Ori, a Portland native, met through a dating app when Le’Ori decided to “take a chance on Chance.” Just days later, on January 7th, 2020, Chance asked her to be his girlfriend. While the world slowed down during COVID, their love grew stronger as they spent more time together and built a deep friendship along the way. Over the years, they’ve shared countless date nights, anime marathons, creative projects, anime movie premieres, and even conventions together. From building Gundam models to painting figurines and playing games, their love for nerdy hobbies has always been part of what makes their relationship so special. In the seven years they’ve been together, they’ve traveled, moved in together, gotten engaged, built a home, and now they’re getting married. What started with a message became a friendship, a partnership, and a love that feels like home. And now their greatest adventure begins — forever. 💕
