Chase and I met through a mutual friend who wanted to set us up. Neither Chase or I wanted to go on a blind date, but somehow our friend convinced us that it would be worth it. He even lied to each of us about the other one's ages to make sure we would say yes. Thank goodness we listened! Our first date was at Spyhouse Coffee in Uptown, which lasted 6 hours. From that date on, we were inseparable. I fell in love with his loyalty to his family, his incredible ambition, his behind-the-scenes goofiness, and his dedication to always becoming a better person. He says he fell in love with me because of my kind heart, my constant encouragement, and how adorable I am when I get excited about something... but I think it was really because of the beautiful way I can belt out my favorite songs in the car when he's driving. Two weeks after becoming an official couple, Chase told me he knew he wanted to marry me. I knew at that moment this was the REAL DEAL.
