___________

How did you meet? C:The Little League World Series, she was the prettiest foreigner in attendance. Who was the first one to make a move? A:…Me. If I was the crazy one who was relentless in getting Chase to date me then you already know. C: All her, she forced me into it. Looking back at the early days, what is something that sticks out about your relationship? A: When we were only dating for like 3 months, we were out to eat at our local Quaker Steak and Lube with his friends and family. He went to the bathroom and came back laughing so hard and his face was red. Apparently he clogged the toilet so bad that he needed to get a janitor and proceeded to tell us all about it, including the mess on the floor. C: ALL the sporting events, her softball slump, the amount of early morning exercising the Landis family forced me into. Sushi. Peanut Scrambles. How did you know he/she was the one? A: When my whole family loved him just as much as I did — or even more. Including MY Nanny who introduced us to someone, “This is Chase…and this is Chase’s girlfriend!” C: June 7th, 2015, Sports Zone. She put the moves on a sorry defender before putting in a gorgeous cross that met my head and then the back of the net. If I had a ring then, we'd be married by now.

Tell us the short version of your engagement. C: I hid in a back alley, opened the box upside down, got up and hugged her before she said yes and well before I put the ring on her. She was crying before she knew what was happening. What are three of your favorite things about your fiancé? C: She makes me laugh, hard. I wish I could be a fly-on-the-wall in every room she’s in. + Her heart for others! She is a constant reminder of God's love. + This is kind of jumping the gun I guess but how AWESOME of a mother she is going to be. + Her eye for beauty and ability to capture and create it. honorable mentions: ability to break out into any dance at anytime. + she is the daughter of Joan, master of food. + fantastic driver. A: Just 3? His heart for God. Chase seeks to reflect Jesus in every aspect of his life and pushes me to do the same. + He’s freakin’ funny. The first day we met was one to remember because I didn’t stop laughing the whole time at how goofy he was. And oh boy I can’t wait to listen to his laugh forever. + His kindness. He is the sweetest man around and loves like no one else.

Did you believe this day would ever come? A: Oh man it’s been a long six years. We knew for a long time that we wanted to get married and boy are we excited!!! I did question if we would make it when I said yes to being his girlfriend and he yelled “I LOVE YOU! Wait no not yet! Like a friend but like maybe soon!” C: I was telling her we were going to get married from Day 25. Still think she is a bit insane to agree to all this… What is the thing you’re most looking forward to in marriage? C: NO MORE GOODBYES. Not to be too corny but she is my best friend and I can't wait to spend as much time with her as I can. A: EVERYTHING! Just living life with my best friend, havin’ babies, and raising little Chexas :) What is one thing you want your friends & family to know? A: How thankful we are for you and helping us at every season in our dating life and for the future to come. We wouldn’t be here without the love, wisdom, and support that has been poured out on us. We seriously have the greatest support system, God has blessed us beyond what words can express. Thank you, thank you, thank you! C: She makes me the best me. You all already know that though! We are both so grateful for everyone that has influenced, supported, and loved us along the way.
