The StoryThe Story

April 2019

Our Bride and Groom met in the Spring of 2019, and their love story was unexpected to say the least. They had both started working at Emmer & Rye around the same time. Rachel was newly single and Chandler hadn't been in Austin all that long. The two both say that at first, they didn't talk much -- Rachel was bartending and Chan was a dim-sum server. Then one day, one of their coworkers pointed out how handsome Chandler was, "He could be a model," Jen said. And for the first time, Rachel realized that maybe he was kind of cute... The first time they went out for drinks with friends after work, Rachel told Chandler that he was a caricature of a person. To which Chandler replied, "What's a caricature?" His goofy smile was so sincere. Rachel knew she wanted to know more about him. Chandler says he was immediately intrigued by this girl who was clearly very smart and very beautiful. Before too long, they were together all the time. Chandler knew he was serious about this, and he wanted to make sure Rachel could really see that. While she was out of town one weekend, he coordinated with their friend, Kyle, to build a bedside table for Rachel's apartment. Returning home from her trip to such a sweet surprise, Rachel says she saw for the first time how deeply he cared about her, and how he wanted this to be so much more. After several months of going on dates and flirting discreetly at work, Rachel finally asked Chan if he wanted to make things official. She knew he had been waiting. In possibly the cutest moment of their early days, Chan told Rachel that he felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Five years later, here we are. Life has certainly presented challenges, but Rachel and Chandler say they are happier and more in love than ever. They have built a strong foundation for their marriage by truly being bestfriends first and foremost. They are both committed to always facing challenges together as a team. Most importantly, they understand that love is not a feeling. To love is to wake up every morning and choose your betrothed. When they're hardest to love, those are the moments when it counts. #chandlerandrachel #morethanjustfriends
