Our hero and heroine’s story starts off similar to many lovers story's, having the connection of a mutual acquaintance, but this love story is far from ordinary. Our story began 2 years prior when our beautiful Queen Chelsea was in the market to purchase her first home. There was a coworker who referred her to Bridgette. Unbeknownst to Chelsea, Bridgette was actually Derrick’s cousin. Chelsea and Bridgette developed a friendship during the process and still maintain that relationship today. Fast forward to 2017, when Bridgette chats with Derrick at a family celebration about having a perfect woman for him to meet. Derrick was skeptical at first but told Bridgette he'd entertain the idea of meeting up with Chelsea. On that fateful day of October 13, 2017, the two met at Apres Diem. Derrick knew and believed at the moment when he first laid eyes on Chelsea, that she was the “one”. On their first date they conversed with one another for three hours. During that time, our young King realized that he was in the presence of a true Proverbs 31 woman. For the following months, their courtship continued. On April 4th, 2018, Derrick and Chelsea became official and their relationship continued to blossom. As their love progressed on July 20th, 2019 Derrick asked Chelsea for her hand in marriage. He got down on one knee in front of their closet friends and family, where they had their first date, Apres Diem. Our young nobles have and continue to participate in a variety of experiences to grow and learn from one another. On April 4th, 2020, this beautiful union will be forged and the remainder of our love story will continue to be written.
