It all began with a misunderstood Fedora and one epic life changing Spring Break vacation to Rocky Point, Mexico.

For over a decade, Casey and Lindsay lived just twenty-one miles from one another … a short thirty-nine minute drive to be exact. But it took traveling over 250 miles for the soon to be “Mr. & Mrs. Clark” to finally cross paths. But, we are getting ahead of ourselves a bit now, aren’t we? First, let’s set the scene:

Casey and Lindsay joined the University of Arizona’s Wildcat family in 2009. Both wanting to get involved, they became members of Greek life at UA. Casey joined Beta Theta Pi and Lindsay found her home away from home with the “sweet and sassy, extra classy” Chi Omega’s.

Now, let’s fast-forward to their sophomore year- Spring Break to be exact. In a life-changing twist of fate moment, both Casey and Lindsay found themselves in Rocky Point, Mexico. While soaking up the sunshine, Taylor, one of Lindsay’s amazing sorority sisters, spotted Max, one of Casey’s awesome fraternity brothers with whom she happened to know. With the promise of free *cough* water *cough* on the horizon, Lindsay and her friends made their way to the “guys” room.

It was then, that Casey and Lindsay first spotted one another. It was love at first sight…. everyone else faded away…. as Taylor Swift’s “Love Song” began playing in the background … and then Casey, the ever romantic, professed his undying love by saying…. “Why are you wearing that hat?”

You see, Lindsay was wearing an immensely fashionable and totally adorable fedora hat (that of which she still owns and proudly wears). Casey didn’t appreciate this very misunderstood fedora at the time. And okay, so maybe it wasn’t totally love at first… hat. But once that fashionable item was removed, the sparks sure did fly. Casey’s comment fueled a heated discussion about fashion and the finer points of proper sun protection, which then led to discussions about their family, friends, interests, and life.

Six years later, Casey and Lindsay are blessed to now share one life as partners and best friends. Casey has even discovered a newfound respect for that once misunderstood fedora. In fact, he now claims that it has become one of his favorite things that Lindsay owns, as it got him the girl, ultimately accomplishing his master plan after all.

Casey popped the question in Sedona, Arizona in September of 2015. He surprised Lindsay with a pre-dinner stroll to Cathedral Rock, a spot where five years earlier Casey had surprised his wife to be with an impromptu photo-shoot to celebrate their one year anniversary. Casey got down on one knee and asked Lindsay to become his wife. She obviously said “Yes”! They then shared another impromptu photo-shoot shot by the same photographer that has taken their photos five years earlier

Casey & Lindsay couldn’t wait to get married in the same town that they not only visited each year to celebrate their anniversary, but also in the same town that they decided to spend forever together.
