Chaney and Sam met for the first time in Nashville, Tennessee late July 2019, after being introduced through Sam's best friend Ryan. Oddly enough, Chaney had met Ryan during a dinner with coworkers at her favorite restaurant. One of the coworkers had brought Ryan along for dinner, and they ended up talking. Quickly after, Ryan was playing matchmaker. After a week of long distance phone calls and late night FaceTime's, Sam made the three hour drive to Nashville to take Chaney out to dinner. They spent the next nine months making the drive back and forth from Memphis to Nashville. They very quickly realized that their random introduction would lead to beginning a life together. In March 2020, they took a trip to Palm Springs, California where Sam asked Chaney to marry him. A full year later, they will be returning back to Palm Springs to get married. They could not be more excited to celebrate the next chapter of their lives with you next month in California!
