"Only God could write this story" is what Chase has beautifully said since our engagement.

We first met on October 9th at Thursday Nights, a young adults worship night, at Mariners Church in Irvine, California. We met for church and coffee that following Sunday and talked for hours. On that date, we both knew there was something incredibly special about each other. We both individually prayed and waited on God's timing and this moment felt like everything was aligning perfectly for us. I remember going home after we first met and writing down in my journal that "I think I met my husband tonight."

October 27th is when we began officially dating. It is now our number and we just knew we had to have it as our wedding date too.

We've enjoyed the many date nights we've had with the beautiful California beaches, family time with The Barkley's and babysitting, exploring Buffalo and attending an amazing wintery Buffalo Bills game and a Sabres game, exploring Utah, and of course - attending our Thursday Nights service where we met. That is one of our favorite dates!

July 3rd is when we got engaged at Knox Farms in East Aurora, New York. It was the most perfect, intimate, and beautiful proposal. We were both visiting Buffalo for the 4th of July weekend to see his family and my parents were coming as well so everyone would ge to finally meet. I had an intuition that he might propose on this trip, knowing how important family is to him and that we would all be together in the same place. What made the location extra special was that my "line" to Chase the night we met at church was how my Mom lived in East Aurora when she was younger and connecting about Upstate New York, so tying that in with the location he asked me to marry him was so special. Being able to share this with all of our family present was a moment we will never forget.

We cannot wait to continue our love story as husband and wife on February 27th and feel so blessed with the Lord's goodness and faithfulness throughout this journey.

Thank you to each and every one of you who have played such an instrumental role in our lives and in our love story. We are beyond grateful and so excited to celebrate this milestone with you all!
