Jim first saw Chloe at crossfit and worked out next to her one day, but they didn’t actually talk until friends from the gym had a party one evening at their house. Chloe showed what a horrible Euchre partner she would make for him by trumping him in a hand (something he still doesn’t let her live down). It was followed by the two of them heading down to Pigskin, what is now their favorite microbrewery in Columbus, for a few more beers and talking. Despite Chloe not being the best card player Jim pursued her and the rest is history.

Chloe had to work the night of Thanksgiving so it was arranged to have a couple friends family come over on Wednesday night so they still got the chance to celebrate. Jim tried to get his niece Maevelin in on the proposal, but being she is only 3 that didn’t exactly go in his favor. Instead at the end of the night he requested a group photo, and during the second group photo he turned around with a ring and popped the question.
