It was Sunday, May 31st, 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida. Karli and Chase were casually swiping on Bumble... and matched! That night, they went to dinner at The Local and the conversation couldn't have been smoother. Early on during that first date, Karli discovered that Chase was to deploy for 10 months, and he was leaving in 3 weeks. Quickly, they both agreed that they'd make the most of those 3 weeks, but that realistically things would end after that. They couldn't have been more wrong. For 10 months, they messaged everyday, so when Chase returned, they picked up right where they left off. A few months later, they moved in together and had a wonderful year before Karli went back to school...out of state. Settling into her new life in North Carolina, Chase decided to propose at the Duke University Chapel in August of 2022 and in August 2023, Chase and Karli had a small ceremony in her hometown. But now, they are ready to have a big celebration with all of their family and friends!
