Chloe and Banks met during their junior year of college! Despite being part of the same larger friend group for over 2 years, their paths didn't cross until the fall of 2021. When Christmas time rolled around and Chloe needed a date to KD's Christmas Cocktail date party, Grace (Chloe's Maid of Honor) suggested she ask Banks. So... she did! They had soooo much fun together and Banks ended up asking her on 2 dates back in Birmingham when they were both home for Christmas break. They continued to get to know each other over the course of second semester junior year and really began to fall for each other and officially started dating on April 23, 2022! They have been together ever since! They did long distance for a year and a half after college (Chloe lived abroad/in ATL for part of it, Banks lived in Mississippi once Chloe moved back to BHAM) but have been in the same city since December 2024. Banks proposed on April 12, 2025 -- during a beach trip celebrating their three-year anniversary!
