Cole and Chey met in March of 2024 at their mutual friend's house in Melba, and began talking. They went on their first date on March 22, 2024 to a speak easy in downtown Nampa, called Sick Stag. On May 4th of that year, Cole asked Chey to be his girlfriend and they've been together since. Through their relationship, they've grown to love things they never thought they would love. Cole's learned to love watching basketball and going to track meets, and Chey has found a new love for fishing and backpacking. On August 15, 2025, Cole pulled off the most epic surprise and proposed during their yearly backpacking trip! He made Chey work for the proposal, taking her on the hardest 8 mile hike in the Sawtooths (she would do it all over again in a heartbeat). Cole and Chey are so excited to start their journey as husband and wife, and feel so lucky to have found their forever and their best friend all in one! We are so excited to have you join them as they start their new chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Newell, and we hope to see you at the wedding of the year!
