Chip and I met as a result of our school's speech and debate team. I went to watch a tournament, and that was the first time I ever saw him. He came up to me and began speaking to me like we had known each other for many years, and my first thought was "who the heck does this guy think he is??" But, from the moment we first interacted, it just felt right and the stars aligned for us. I was actually still in high school the day we met, so our budding romance had to wait another year. When I finally came to college, it was easy to pick up where we left off. We officially began dating March 8th, 2018 and the three years we've been together have been bliss. We've learned so much about each other and how to do life together, and loving each other has been the easiest and best thing I've ever experienced. He proposed to me on May 12th, 2021 in our old debate room on campus and we decided we wanted to have a beautiful fall wedding.
