Our story starts about 5 years ago. Chase was in his freshman year at the University of Tennessee and I was finishing high school ready to take on the world. Mutual friends ours set both Chase and I up blindly to meet. I secretly think they knew we were meant for each other. That night I honestly knew my life would change forever. There was something about Chase that just felt right and I was able to be my most true and honest self.

Fast forward a couple months to the Covid Pandemic in 2020, Chase had to move home and my senior year came to an end abruptly. This was hard for the both of us, but we were both overjoyed by the fact this meant we got to spend more time together. The next several months we spent almost every day together minus the time we spent at our part-time jobs. In June of 2020, my grandmother passed away. If you know me then you know this was the hardest thing I have ever went through. Chase loved and took care of me during those months of grieving more than I knew was possible. We have said before that time period of our lives is what gave us the great strength we have in our relationship now. I can never thank him enough for all he did for me then.

From that point forward it was clear that we had something special and it didn't matter what we would have to face in our futures. As time flew by during the pandemic we spent so much time taking road trips with no destination, going camping, and spending time with family. I even learned what a true Lambert family game night looked like (and I won't lie I am still a little terrified of the competitiveness.) Then we got our Millie girl. Our little best friend. Watching her grow up and doing it together was so special to us both.

In June of 2022, Chase and I decided to move to Knoxville to be closer for school. That was the best year of my entire life (I may change my mind after what's in store for this year). We had the best time going to games, spending time with friends, and getting to live what felt like a fantasy after the pandemic was over. We would sit up for hours talking about what we envisioned for our future and how we were going to settle for nothing less. After our lease ran up and we both graduated from college we moved back home separately. Chase started his job at the Little Dutch with his dad and I was still figuring out the career path best fit for me. That's when Tucker came along and boy has he changed our lives. He is our spark of fire and keeps us on our toes every day.

We finally saved up enough money to buy our own little home that we live in now. We worked so hard that summer together at the dock and boy did it pay off. Little did I know that in a few s

April 2019 Alexanne moved to Minnesota and we started this exciting new chapter of our lives. We got an apartment in Minneapolis and got to experience some big city life until Covid hit the world. At the end of our lease we decided it was best to move to the suburbs where we fell in love with the area and decided to invest in our future by buying a home!

In August of 2022, Wade got down on his knee in Stillwater, MN by the Saint Croix River and asked Alexanne if she would marry him! After coming back from a brief blackout, Alexanne said yes and Wade put Alexanne's grandmothers 25th wedding anniversary ring on her hand.
