WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

We first crossed paths at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2019, but at the time, it didn’t mean much. Little did we know, years later, our shared love for animals, travel, and adventure would bring us back together in the most unexpected way. It all started when my friends, Sara and Andrea, invited me to a party at Chase’s house (even though I wasn’t exactly on the guest list). Chase politely asked me to leave, but fate wasn’t done with us. A year later, I found myself at our friend Jake’s house, which turned out to be Chase’s place again! This time, I reintroduced myself, and soon after, Chase sent me a friendly message on Instagram—then went silent. I decided to keep the conversation going, asked for his number, and from there, a beautiful friendship began. By July 2020, we were dating and haven’t looked back since! Now, we’re building a life full of love, laughter, and adventure, exploring the world together, and with over 25 destinations under our belt, we can’t wait to celebrate our wedding with our closest family and friends in beautiful San Diego!
