We are so excited to celebrate with you!

Spring of 2017 Chase and I were both attending Johnson University; him a Senior, me a Freshman. We first met through a mutual friend over dinner in the cafeteria. (Fun fact: I don’t remember this first meeting…) We started saying hi as we passed each other on the small campus, neither of us lacking in the extroverted department. We again found ourselves sitting at the same table for dinner and Chase was being purposeful in getting to know me and asking questions, even from opposite ends of the table! As he walked me back to the dorm, he expressed an interest in hanging out and asked for my number. He came over to the Ochs house for a graduation party (where he met the WHOLE family), I went over for a Newsome family game night, and the rest is history. We went on our first date to the Lost Sea Adventure, and officially started dating on June 11th, 2017. While dating, we went to Ghana twice together, both graduated from Johnson, Chase started a big boy job, I started midwifery school, we’ve watched endless amounts of baseball, did long distance for 5 months, went on lots of adventures and made TONS of memories everywhere in-between. On February 13th, 2020 (at my 22nd birthday party) Chase pulled me outside to walk by the water and got down on one knee as he asked me to make him “the happiest man in the world.” I said “YES” (no surprise there), and now we’re counting down the days till October 24th.
