Chase and Emily met by a twist of fate on New Year's Eve in 2020, thanks to the handiwork of her sister Elizabeth Van Buskirk and Chase's best friend Max Lohr. It wasn't love at first sight, they didn't share a magical midnight kiss but when the 2021 New Year rang in, it changed both of their lives forever. A week later, Chase picked Emily up for their first date in a borrowed red corvette and took her to watch the sunset on 17-mile drive. It was the first of many sunsets, car rides together and conversations about what they both wanted in life. She had never met someone so capable and caring and he had never encountered a woman with such wanderlust. The next few years took them on countless adventures across the world but love brought them back to a familiar beach where Chase (with the help of Kim Montuoro) got down on one knee and told Emily this was forever. They can't wait to make it official in the middle of the Del Monte Forest surrounded by all their loved ones.
