[field title=”Proposal Story”]Rachol West-Chachere and Andre Chachere are college sweethearts from two Central California towns.

They met at San Jose State University. Rachol played basketball at San Jose State and Andre played football. Andre is a professional football player and Rachol is a small business owner and digital media & content editor. They have been each other’s rock since the day they met. They have two little bundles of joy, a 4 year old boy and a 1.5 years old babygirl. They got engaged in March 2021 in Monterey, CA.

The proposal was a complete surprise! Rachol had absolutely no clue. They were doing their first photoshoot as a family of 4 on the beach in Monterey, CA in March 2021. They were on a secluded private beach at the Sanctuary Beach Resort in Marina, CA. Rachol was playing in the sand with her toddler. When she stood up to go check on her infant daughter, Andre was on 1 knee! The sand and waves were behind him. It was the most picture perfect proposal. [/field]
