Chelsea and Sean met about a week after Sean started working in her building at UAB. Leaving work one afternoon, they were both waiting to cross the street and he said, "Hello". Turned out, they parked in the same remote lot so they rode the same bus route. When they got on the bus together, she invited him to sit next to her. The rest is history...

After a year and a half of dating, Sean took Chelsea out for dinner for her birthday on June 13, 2019, to her favorite restaurant, Surin West. After dinner, they walked Vulcan Trail, a place that holds special meaning to them as it overlooks Birmingham: the city where they met. After walking for a few minutes, he handed her a box to unwrap. Inside was her favorite novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. On the inside, there was a sweet note written that instructed her to turn to a particular page. Sean had cut a hole in the middle of the book and placed the ring inside. When Chelsea looked up, he was down on one knee and asked the big question.
