Our story

Some love stories take their time

Chelsea and Matt's story began nearly 18 years ago in high school marching band, where they met and instantly became best friends. They even dated for about two weeks, but quickly realized that teenage romance wasn't quite their thing. After graduating a year apart, they both ended up at the same college. Even then, the connection between them was undeniable. They each secretly loved the other as more than a friend, but neither knew the other felt the same way. For years, they danced around their feelings, but never quite crossing that line. Eventually, life took them in different directions, but their friendship never wavered. Through distance and time, they always stayed in each other's lives, cheering one another on from afar. Sixteen years after their friendship began, fate (and maybe a little good timing) brought them back together - this time for good. What started as a teenage friendship turned into a love story built on years of trust, laughter, and shared history. And now, they're finally saying "I do."
