How We Met

It all started at Kohl's—of all places! Chantal was out shopping when she saw her brother talking to someone she didn’t recognize. She later found out he was her brother's coworker, and that’s when things took an interesting turn. Her curiosity got the best of her, and asked her brother to give him her contact information. She wasn’t sure if anything would come of it, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Three months went by without hearing a word, and she completely forgot the encounter ever happened. But then, out of nowhere, he added her on Instagram. She then did something bold and sent him a message, asking him out on their first date. Their date was at a sushi restaurant, a place she loves, and from the first moment they sat down together, it felt like they'd known each other for so much longer. There was something about the way they talked—effortless and easy, like they were already a part of each other’s worlds. They'll never forget the way everything just clicked. The food, the conversation, and most of all, the chemistry between them. Fast forward a year, and here they are—engaged! It’s crazy how quickly time has flown by, but to them, it feels like they’ve been together forever in the best way. He proposed to her in Central Park. It was a magical moment they'll never forget, and now they’re on our way to the next chapter of their story. And that’s how it all started. From a random run-in at Kohl’s to a first date over sushi, and now, an engagement in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Who would’ve thought they’d end up here?
