Chase and I met through mutual friends that had been trying to set us up for weeks. At that pont in my life I was soooo over boys and had no interest in going on a random blind date that I knew would end in another disappointment. (Little did I know!) Finally I agreed and went, just to "play along." However, the day before we were supposed to go to dinner, I spotted Chase at the gym and holy moly was he a sight for sore eyes! ;) I had never talked to him before (I had only seen pictures) so I thought it would be a little weird to walk up and say hi. But this just made me even more excited for dinner the next night! We met at Texas Roadhouse and I was more nervous than I realized, but dinner went great and I knew there was something very special about Chase. Although, he didn't finish his steak and that was questionable.. haha. We went on another date the next night and we have been inseparable ever since! Chase is everything and more that I've dreamed my husband would be. I can't wait to marry my best friend!

Sarah and I met through mutual friends, who had been trying to find opportunities to let us meet. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and was taking some time for myself, when fate hit me right in the face (figuratively). I was at the gym one night and noticed that a beautiful blonde had just walked in. Gotta love those mirrors in the gym! I saw her and her friend, our maid of honor, go into a workout room towards the front of the gym where people usually do abdominal workouts. So, I did what any respectable man would do, I walked into the room and I started doing sit ups, so I could get a better look. Little did I know that this was the girl our friends had been trying to set me up with. After leaving the gym I got in my car and my cell phone had numerous missed calls on it from our two friends who were trying to set us up. Explaining to me that the girl I was drooling over in the gym, was actually Sarah and that she had recognized me but did not want to come talk to me for fear of being weird. That night we set up a double date with Sarah and I and our two friends, who are now married. She could probably tell something was wrong because I barely ate any of my steak, but little did she know that I was sick to my stomach with nerves. Here was this beautiful blonde haired girl sitting and having dinner with me. It had been so long since I had actually gone on a “date” that I did not want to mess anything up. The next night I got my courage back and asked Sarah on a second date, and since that day my life has been perfect. I have never known anyone so smart, funny, beautiful, patient, and compassionate than Sarah. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her and I thank God everyday that she loves me for the man that I almost am.
