Our Story

“Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.”

09.05.2021- How It All Began Our first date was Labor Day of 2021. At this point we had been talking for about 2 weeks, ironically both of us didn't want to go on this date, as we both were exhausted from working and celebrating Labor Day weekend. For Chelsea, there were Three Rules with dating: 1) Don't meet at their residence 2) Don't get in the car / share a ride 3) Don't hug or kiss on a first date As you will soon read and unheard of for Chelsea, she had broken all three of these rules on this first date. As Chelsea pulled up to Michael's residence and broken rule number one, it was here that they first saw one another-in person. They both parked their vehicles, walked towards each other, and instantaneously embraced each other in their arms. Unheard of for Chelsea, but after seeing that Michael was not only who he said he was, instinctively felt comfortable enough to hug him, and after noticing Michael was more handsome in person than his dating profile (minor detail), she agreed to breaking rule number two and let him drive her to their first date. During the 15 minute drive from Michael's residence in Barnegat, NJ to their first date at Bill Burr's Mini Golf in Long Beach Island, NJ , it was then that they realized this was something different. The drive consisted of zero nervousness and easy conversation, both mutually and effortlessly. Just as discovered in those two weeks talking online, they had even more in common than initially known. Both Chelsea and Michael were born and raised in South Jersey, went to school in North Jersey, and relocated to Central Jersey after breaking off 5+ year long relationships. Despite never having their paths intertwine previous to Labor Day of 2021, they had realized that at any point during their lives that they had only been about 20 minutes from each other. Expectably enough and after already breaking rules one and two, it was during mini golf that Chelsea had been daring enough to break rule number three. Chelsea had bet Michael that if she won that game of mini golf that she would get a kiss. Not surprisingly, Chelsea had also won that game of golf and Michael had “lost.” 10.03.2021- Making It Official (BF & GF) 02.04.2023-The Big Question With help from Michael's Aunt Deb and Uncle Charlie Denison, many conversations since September 2022, and finally driving around San Francisco, CA during the first day of vacation that Michael had picked the perfect spot; Bakers Beach in San Francisco, CA. It was during day two of their vacation, February 4th, 2023 in San Francisco, CA that Michael finally popped the question he had wanted to ask since February of 2022. For Chelsea, it was the easiest question of her life and the answer was “YES!”
