Her point of view Chase was (still is) a hunk, I remember staring at him and having to save myself from embarrassment. Chase made me feel an emotion I didn't feel often, nervous, he gave me an abundant amount of butterflies. His eyes were beautiful and I remember his laugh being contagious, he always enjoyed bringing laughter to a room. Chase felt kind, he was so gentle, he made me feel soft and gave me a different lens of the world. Chase was a persistent fellow, in fact he asked me out three times before I finally said yes. And I know that sounds crazy with us now being here but I didn't say no because I wasn't interested, the complete opposite to be honest. I knew if I said yes it wasn't just for a first date, I knew it would be yes to forever. The most witty, thoughtful, bright, honest man had stole my heart from the moment our eyes met. His point of view When I first met Giovanna, I think the thing that stood out the most was her beautiful smile and warm soul. You could see she was incredibly caring, kind, and had a personality that could light up any room. I loved her laugh and that there was no hesitation on her end to be goofy or to always find a reason to smile and be happy. Even in such a short amount of time I felt the impact she had on my life then and immediately knew the impact she could have on the rest of it. You could call it fate, destiny, or what was meant to be, but I felt an immense sense of comfort and knew deep down we were always meant to be together forever.

Her point of view This day was a beautiful day, it was a day meant for humor but for us it was filled with love and commitment. Chase is a good one, he does not rush me when I am getting ready nor does he raise his voice when Im hangry. Both of these events occurred where my time management is poor and my stomach controls my temper. I won't go into detail but on a day for a man who strives to make everything perfect- I did not make it easy. Chase took me on a beautiful weekend trip to La Jolla, where he had already planned to ask me to be his wife. He pulled aside both my mother and father, months prior and received their blessing for our marriage. He coordinated a photographer to hide to my unknowing and capture our moment on a day he knew would be meaningful forever. When I saw Chase pacing and felt his hands begin to clam I knew something was happening and demanded to know. He is terrible at keeping surprises but this one he wasn't budging, he was so patient and still so affectionate as he was feeling anxious. When I saw Chase on a knee, our life flashed before my eyes, from our first kiss to sitting on a porch of a beautiful home watching the sunset as our hair turned grey. My heart skipped multiple beats and it felt as though my lungs forgot how to breathe, it was with no hesitation, no need for a second or third ask, most certain.. yes. His point of view The day that I proposed to Giovanna had to be one of the most stressful, yet incredible days of my life. I had paid for a photographer and had to "sneakily" coordinate with them where I was going to propose. My plan had been to do it at La Jolla beach, one of our favorite and most memorable sites in our relationship. Our first trip was literally to this beach and that was where I knew, even then, we would be together forever. To hold true to poetic justice, I let the photographer know that I wanted to propose at the beach and shared my location an hour before to ensure we would fine one another. I had never checked for a ring to be in my pants pocket so many times in my life, until that day. Once me and Giovanna arrived to the beach, I had to try and stall to find where the photographer was and once he was found to then find the perfect spot. I had probably walked around with Giovanna for 5 minutes and with each minute, my stress grew. I did not want to be surrounded by a lot of people that would try to "jump in" on our moment, and I also wanted the scenery to reflect the beautiful moment. As we had been walking, I could tell she was getting "hangry" and that I needed to make my move. I found a beautiful court yard with a closed beach house to walk into the middle of and I let her keep walking and once she realized I was not right next to her, she turned around and I made the best decision of my life to propose to her.
