We’re getting married!

It all started with a little matchmaking magic— Evan’s best friend and Chanel’s long-lost high school friend decided to play cupid, and we are forever grateful. Our first date was a Braves game, but honestly, we couldn’t even tell you who won. We didn’t watch a second of it. From the moment we sat down, we were deep in conversation—talking, laughing, and completely wrapped up in each other. We never even got up for dinner! The similarities were profound between us. Even though Chanel was heading off to school a few states away for the next year, Evan didn’t blink. We dove into the long-distance life, spending those first few months getting to know each other in a deeper way. Despite the miles, our connection only grew stronger. Every time Chanel came home, she found a way to see Evan. The rest, as they say, is history—and now, here we are, getting ready to say “I do.”
