There's a Chinese proverb that says that a red string of Fate connects those who are supposed to meet at some point in their lives. It is said that these two people connected by the thin red are destined lovers - their little bit of Fate might get tangled and stretched and beaten, but it never will break. Through circumstances and time. Fate will see them together in the end. Chanel and Richard met each other in July 2000 while living in Texas. In 2003, Chanel moved to Michigan to be with Richard as he was exiting the Army, but the relationship didn't work out. Chanel moved back to Texas and they both went on with their lives. In August of 2021 they came back into contact through social media, and met up in October to officially get back together. Chanel moved back to Michigan in February 2022 and Richard proposed December 13, 2022. Richard and Chanel eloped in a private ceremony on July 2, 2023.
