How did you two meet?
Chas: "The first time we met was on a deep sea fishing trip. Annelore’s brother-in-law, Alan, who has been my best friend since childhood, set us up."
Annelore: "The first time I met Chas I quickly noticed he was very kind, and just a good ol’ southern gentleman. We had fun together that trip, but it wasn’t until later that I realized he was really interested in me."
How and when did Chas propose?
Chas: "I proposed in May 2020. Annelore wanted to have our pictures taken at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear. In the middle of the photo shoot, I proposed."
Annelore: "When Chas proposed, Meg told Chas to twirl me around a few times, and when I came around to look at him he was getting down on one knee. I screamed and I was totally taken by surprise!"
What are some things you two enjoy doing together?
Chas: "We do a lot together. We enjoy hunting, fishing, church, riding horses, eating and visiting with friends and family."
Annelore: "We love spending time outdoors! That is why we are choosing to go on our honeymoon in Wyoming because we love to be outside in nature! One of my favorite memories is when Chas took me hunting at his hunting club. We both got really high in a stand and watched the sunrise-- it was so beautiful and peaceful. We really just love being in each other’s company!"
What was each yall's favorite part of the wedding day?
Chas: "My favorite part was when I first saw Annelore that day. I knew she was going to be beautiful as always, but when she walked down the aisle-- I was blown away!"
Annelore: "I would say seeing Chas for the first time that day was my favorite part too. I was so, so, so excited to see him all morning! People asked me before if I thought Chas would cry, and I would tell them, 'No, I promise he won’t because he is very reserved and tough as nails!!' However, when I walked down the aisle, I saw Chas start to tear up, and I was in shock! So that was my favorite moment!! I also loved getting ready with all of my girls, and I loved dancing with my new husband all night at the reception!!!! The reception was so much fun and so magical!!"
Annelore--what's one of the things you admire most about Chas?
Annelore: "There are SO many things that I admire about Chas-- it’s so hard to pick just one! Chas’ love language is acts of service, so he is not a words guy or a gifts person. But the way Chas loves is by selflessly and quietly serving. I admire that because I believe in living a life by Jesus’ example-- and loving others by serving them is a huge part of that! Chas does so many things to show me he loves me by taking care of me and serving me. He will show kindness and love to others too, and I love that about him!"
Chas--what's one of the things you admire most about Annelore?
Chas: "She is truly a kind-hearted and sweet person. She will go out of her way to do anything anyone asks of her. She’s a good cook as well!"
What's next for you two?
Chas: "Just living life and seeing which roads God wants us to go down."
Annelore: "Chas and I have such a fun life together. I am planning a few adventures in the future, so I will be dragging Chas with me along! I think next we will be looking for some land to maybe build a house! We are looking for something perfect for hanging out outside and to spend time with family and friends!!"
