The Story of Chazzica

First came Weights, then came Dates

Most relationships have humble and/or awkward beginnings. Not so much this one. Forged in secrecy and hardened by true friendship, Jess and Charlie had quite the unique courtship. Jess was the athlete. Not only beautiful inside and out, but incredibly hard working in both school and sport. Charlie was the coach. Not necessarily a looker by any means but his personality was... well... not great either. But he's always been one to bend the rules a little bit. So as Charlie served as Jessica's swim team strength and conditioning coach, he couldn't help but develop a little crush on the strong and goofy blond. When their stars finally aligned, coach-athlete dating restrictions had to take a back seat. And frankly, everyone saw it coming. These two were just too good together. They kept it a secret for as long as they could and next thing you know, they were moving to Florida together. Living together before marriage typically tests most couples and many find fault and failure to be the outcome. This was obviously not the case here. The root of any successful relationship is a strong friendship, and Chazzica is the definition of friendship. "One of our first dates was to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. Jess told me I looked like a vulture on exhibit. I knew right then and there I was going to marry this girl." -Charlie "We went to the Animal Shelter on free cat adoption day, and Charlie told me we could adopt another cat. I knew right then and there I was going to marry this guy." -Jess
