We met at Ben (the best man) & Sam's wedding; Ben is Chelsea's cousin, and one of Sean closest friends from college. Warren--Ben's dad--got the great idea to fix us up, and introduced us quite a few times over the course of the evening, with no real success. Finally, after Chelsea's dad & Warren had a few tequila shots with Sean, Chelsea went over to see what all the fuss was about. She finally gave Sean a chance and they enjoyed another drink and chatted before Chelsea asked him if he wanted to dance. For anyone who knows Sean, it's a complete shocker he said yes. The rest, as they say, is history. Fun fact - After meeting Sean for introduction #1, Chelsea told her mom she wasn't interested because she's, "not into blondes".

Sean & Chelsea went on a cruise with Chelsea's close family and family friends. It was a lovely week spent parasailing, beach soccer-ing, booze cruising, snorkeling, sun bathing and eating heavily over-indulgent meals. On the final night, after carrying the ring around the entire trip, Sean finally (nervously) asked Chelsea's dad for her hand in marriage. They had planned to go to the top deck hot tub that night, but Chelsea and her mom end up dancing too late at the farewell party (very classy stuff), and the pool deck closes before they arrive. By then it's too windy to enjoy the cabana's on the top deck, so they head back to their room - with Sean insisting they sit outside and enjoy the beautiful night sky before heading to bed. After moving the balcony chairs far enough apart that there was room to get on a knee, Sean sat and waited for Chelsea to go come outside. And waited. And waited. Eventually, Sean got too antsy and went inside and down on one knee in the middle of their stateroom. In spite of his romantic proposal, Chelsea collapses in tears and [obviously] says YES!
