the best is yet to come

Chelsea and Charlie met as undergraduates at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville in 2012. It started as side-eyed glances and raised eyebrows when hanging with mutual friends. After months of cordial, passing conversations and flirtatious looks, Chelsea insisted that “we should hang out more.” Happy to hear this, Charlie obliged. It started as simple dates that neither knew would turn into something more. But it was easy to be together. Life was better together. Things changed on August 4th, when Charlie took Chelsea to her first music festival and insisted they become official. But it was when Chelsea moved from Florida to Ohio in 2019—after two years of long distance—that he knew she was serious. He asked, and she said yes on 12.3.21.
