In the fall of 2016, we both found ourselves starting new chapters in Atlanta. Like many people settling into a new city, we were eager to meet new people. And in today’s world, what better way to do that than online? After a few weeks of swiping, fate—or a really good algorithm—stepped in. On January 2, 2017, we both swiped right, and our story began. After exchanging just a few messages, Chase’s no-nonsense approach cut through the small talk, and we quickly scheduled our first date for drinks at Tin Roof Cantina in North Druid Hills. Our conversations were effortless, but busy schedules kept us moving slowly in those early weeks. By mid-February, though, we started seeing each other more often, and soon, our dates began to include actual meals—progress! By March, we were really clicking. We both happened to have trips planned to New York City at the same time (Chase for work, Stephanie to visit her best friend), and we made plans to meet up. That first night in NYC, after dinner and before heading to a comedy show at Dangerfield’s, Stephanie worked up the courage to ask the question: “So... what are we?” Without missing a beat, Chase confessed that he’d already been calling her his girlfriend for a while. From that moment on, we’ve been writing the rest of our story together—filled with laughter, adventures, and a love that keeps growing every day.
