Once upon a time, in a land where love and sweat flow as freely as the Wi-Fi signal, two adventurous souls embarked on a journey that would take them from below sea level to the base camp of happiness. Yes, this is the heartwarming tale of Chase and Hannah (that’s us!). It all began in the sweltering August of 2015 at Tulane University in New Orleans. Little did we know, destiny had a quirky sense of humor and decided to introduce us first in a place where Hannah couldn’t stop sweating during a presentation and then again where she would come to find out how great Chase looks in a dress. And then came the moment that would set the stage for their epic love saga – the first date/non-date at Audubon Park. Sometimes, the best stories start with a little uncertainty. Was it a date? Was it not? (it was to him, but she was clueless to the fact). But who cares because it led them to the first real date. The unforgettably delightful combination of Bacchanal and... wait for it... Pizza Hut! Truly, a gourmet masterpiece. As their love blossomed, so did their living situation. In 2017, they took the plunge with a roommate who doubled as a friend and sharer of hand, foot, and mouth disease (who knew adults can get that?!). And in 2018, the plot thickened. They bid farewell to the roommate days and embraced their very own love nest. Walls and floors sometimes invaded by vines growing inside the house? Check. A fridge that randomly sounded like an airplane taking off?? Check. It was a haven of romance, dog fur, new friends, and a horrible landlord, but that’s another story entirely. But hold on, folks – it wasn't just their living situation that evolved. That year, they decided to swap traditional presents for something way cooler: shared adventures! 2019 saw the couple trekking to Everest Base Camp, conquering new heights both literally and emotionally. Their love was soaring higher than the altitude, and they realized that the world was just one giant playground waiting for their joyful footprints. With plans to explore Greece for the next year, 2020 had other plans. The universe decided to press the pause button on their travel escapades, sidelining Chase’s grand plans to propose in Greece. But fear not! Our heroes tackled quarantine head-on, by building a literal house together. Now in 2023, all settled in their new home wondering when procrastination had reached its peak (no pun intended), Chase finally took a leap of faith out on the Mardi Gras route for everyone to see and proposed in front of friends and loved ones. Perhaps it was the house-building-induced bravery, or maybe it was just the overwhelming need to ensure that 2023 didn't become another adventure-less year. So here we are, ready to embark on the biggest adventure of all – marriage! From non-dates to Everest treks, from Pizza Hut to proposal procrastination, our story is a reminder that life's quirks make the best memories. So join us on April 19, as we celebrate the next step on our journey.
