TINDER! Dating apps really do work! After swiping right and matching, we texted for a few weeks. Once Chase asked me on a date, we met at La Sirena Grill in Laguna Beach after he vouched for their salmon burritos (he wasn't wrong). He was 15 MINUTES LATE! I gave him the benefit of the doubt because of the Laguna Beach traffic (if you know, you know) and when he finally arrived he admitted he was late because he changed his shirt a few times. He was worth the wait :) We talked for hours at the restaurant and continued the date at the Montage Laguna Beach. Who knew Tinder could give us our happily ever after?!
He proposed in the same spot we had our first date: Montage Laguna Beach. Chase hired a professional photographer to take family photos with Ruca (our fur child) - something we have been wanting to do for awhile. At one point, while on the beach, Chase went to get more "treats" for Ruca from a bag while I was busy taking photos with Ru. Little did I know, the "treat" was an engagement ring! Once he came back, Chase went on one knee and popped the question! Thankfully the photographer was there to capture the proposal because I may have blacked out with excitement.
