Marisa was attending University of Mary already when Chase decided to attend there as well. Both of them had been involved in music for most of their lives, so it was natural that they would eventually cross paths. They first met during the UMary Vocal Jazz audition. At first, there relationship was no more than an acquaintanceship. Chase would sometimes come up to Marisa and her friend group to seek out conversation, but Marisa was pretty happy with the friends she had, and wasn't looking for anything new. Still, both Marisa and Chase kept finding themselves in the same groups. When summer came around, their shared friend group kept trying to schedule a movie night, but everyone else was constantly busy. Finally, Marisa and Chase decided to just hang out without everyone else, and quickly realized how well they got along. A month later, they started dating and only grew closer over the next four years. On the 14th of April 2023, Chase proposed to Marisa at the gazebo in Sleepy Hollow Park. They are now excited to start the next chapter of their lives together.
