7 years ago, Casey picked up Brittany for a first date after she direct messaged him on Instagram. On the date, Casey pulled out all the stops, taking her shopping for a bottle of Italian red wine, preparing a charcuterie board and then preparing dinner, filet mignon and vegetables. The conversation was natural and they couldn't wait to see each other again. Their second date was a week later. 2 months later on Brittany's birthday, Casey asked if she would be his girlfriend. Brittany already knew she was in love with Casey at this point. 3 months later, Casey was rear ended by a drunk driver where his car was totaled, and the following day is when he first said "I love you". In 2019, they moved in together in Downtown Fullerton.
On July 16, 2021 at 9,000 feet in Crested Butte, CO Casey proposed to Brittany on the signature hole at The Club at Crested Butte. It was a magical setting, and Aunt Carol and Uncle Don captured the moment beautifully.
