Sometimes the most important people in our lives are closer than we think—we just need the right moment (and maybe a helpful friend) to bring us together. Although we lived in the same county for years, our paths never crossed… until Garrett’s best friend introduced us. From the very beginning, something felt different. Conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter came naturally, and it felt like we had known each other forever—even though we had just met. Yes, there’s an age gap—but it turns out love doesn’t care about birthdays. Garrett brought a calm, steady presence that Chelsia instantly admired, and Chelsia’s warmth and spark were exactly what Garrett had been looking for. We balanced each other in the best way possible. Over time, friendship grew into something deeper. Through everyday moments, heartfelt conversations, and unexpected laughter, we found the kind of connection that just feels right. The kind that doesn’t need to be rushed or questioned—only treasured. Now, we’re getting ready to say “I do,” surrounded by the people who have supported us, cheered us on, and loved us along the way. We’re so excited to start this next chapter together and so grateful to have you be part of our story. With love, Chelsia & Garrett
