Chase and Michaeleah met at their alma mater, Texas Christian University, during a tailgate in 2013. The two spoke briefly and went their separate ways not seeing or speaking to each other for two years. On a fateful night in July of 2015, the two reconnected and went out on their first date a few weeks after. Very soon they were inseparable and the rest was history!

In May of 2019, while on a trip in Belgium, Chase proposed at the top of a 12th-century medieval castle overlooking the city of Gravensteen. The couple soon started planning their dream wedding fit for a king and queen! 

As Dallas natives, Chase and Michaeleah knew they wanted a wedding away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first venue they visited was Remi’s Ridge at Hidden Falls. They immediately selected the location for its landscape full of beautiful trees and waterfalls. The weather was perfect for their beautiful outdoor ceremony despite the early morning rain. The couple was joined by their family and friends for a Catholic-based ceremony performed by Father Richard Aguilar. The vows were complete and made special with a hand fastening ritual and scriptures read by Michaeleah’s bridesmaid. All the meaningful moments were captured by Debbie Gilman Photography.

The reception hall was lined with elegant drapery complemented by burgundy, blush, and white hanging floral arrangements. The couple opted for a dessert spread instead of the traditional wedding cake but Michaeleah surprised Chase with a TCU football themed groom cake from 2Tarts Bakery. The guests enjoyed music by Gaines Entertainment before sending off the couple with a sparkler exit that completed the magical night. 

“When I look back on the whole day, I think of how grateful we were and still are to have been surrounded by those we love. It was a wild year of quarantine and separation from our friends and family but we were able to safely come together and celebrate love and happiness.” – Michaeleah Ross
