Chase had been working there for 6 months. Christine had just started. It was Christine's second day of training, and she was 30 minutes late to work... because her Uber did not know how to follow a GPS. Upon arrival to her shift, she was taken to Chase, who would be training her and two other workers that day. After working with him for a few weeks, Christine knew she liked this guy!

Chase and Christine went on their first date on July 4th, 2016. The next day, Chase asked Christine to be his girlfriend while on the clock... cleaning up the Modeling Madness tables at Crayola.

Christine graduated from Cypress Creek High School in 2017 and moved to Tampa for college, which kickstarted their 7 years of long distance. Chase graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 2018 and joined Christine in Tampa for a year of college before moving back home to finish. Christine graduated from the University of South Florida in 2020 (Go Bulls!) and decided to stay in Tampa to begin teaching.

In December of 2024, when Chase reached his last semester of college, they moved into the perfect apartment for the two of them! The apartment's backyard was looking lonely, so after three months of living together, Chase and Christine decided to adopt a dog named Diablo. Almost two weeks later, on April 4th, 2024, Chase was on his knee in their apartment's kitchen proposing to Christine! We are SO excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with all of our loved ones! We can't wait to see you as the new Mr. and Mrs. Howard!
