Lizzy and Chad were introduced through her best friend, Shawna. Lizzy came out to surprise Shawna for her 40th birthday and that is when they met in person for the first time at Chuy's in Ft. Worth, Texas. Lizzy called her mom after that lunch and told her that she was going to marry this man. They spent the rest of that weekend together and then they continued to date long distance for 3 years. Lizzy then moved to Springtown, Texas to live with Chad and Blakelyn.
