Our Story

Love on the Mississippi

We met in Minneapolis, MN along the mighty Mississippi in March of 2018. Bryant convinced Chelsea to go on a date with the promise of seeing ice bergs crashing down the river in the spring snow melt. How could a girl turn that down?! Our first date was a beautiful hike along the river, but no ice bergs were to be found. However, a great connection was discovered along with a mutual love of the outdoors. Our time in Minnesota was full of camping, cross country skiing, fishing, canoeing and hiking adventures. Chelsea was glad she found someone who could keep up with her thirst for exploration, and Bryant couldn't believe he found a girl who liked to fish! Career changes brought both of us to the Washington D.C. area where we supported each other in pursuing professional opportunities. Bryant developed his skills as a software engineer while Chelsea dove into the world of technical project management. Weekend trips to Shenandoah National Park, the Chesapeake Bay, and Washington D.C.'s many sites kept us busy for the two years we lived in our nation's capital. In 2021, Bryant was presented with an amazing opportunity to work in Bozeman, MT. We couldn't resist the pull of the majestic Rocky Mountains! Chelsea was awarded a full time, remote position at her current company. We moved in May and are having a blast exploring and wedding planning from Bozeman. We couldn't be more excited to start our married life in the incredible state of Montana! We look forward to having our family and friends together for the celebration of our marriage at the place where our love story began - the mighty Mississippi!
