Our Story
How They Met Rob met Chelsea in the fall of 2009 while pledging to become a member of Alpha Phi Omega at Hunter College. As a pledge, he was supposed to contact Chelsea, his Big Brother, but guess what? He didn't. Classic Rob move! A few months later, after officially becoming a member, Rob was in search of a pizza buddy. To his surprise, Chelsea, who dislikes pizza, agreed to join him. Although they didn’t speak much before, they had their first of many great, free-flowing conversations. Shortly after, Roberly asked Chelsea if she'd join him at the poetry club for an English assignment, and, once again to his surprise, she agreed. Though she claims she felt sorry for him and wanted to help him with his homework. Before each other knew it, they were messaging daily and into the night. They denied it to themselves, they denied it to the world, but inside, they knew: this was the start of an unbreakable bond. Talk about a love story that's almost too cheesy, just like their first pizza date. The Proposal On a rainy day in Brooklyn, they planned to run errands and attend a friend's birthday dinner, which turned out to be canceled. Unbeknownst to Chelsea, it was a setup to get her out while her best friend, Shevhon, helped arrange a private picnic. When they returned, Rob surprised Chelsea with a private sushi chef, a violinist, and rose petals leading to a flower-adorned picnic table in their small apartment. After many years, he finally knelt down and asked, "Will you marry me?"
