James and Chelsea's paths crossed in Fort Collins, Colorado while both attending Colorado State University. Becoming fast friends, they started to realize their mutual love for skiing, traveling, food, music, laughter and of course the Broncos was not a coincidence, but meant to be! Dating for 7 years, living separately then together and raising their fur baby, Scooter all led up to that wonderful evening in Barcelona, Spain. On a beautiful boat watching the sunset to their song, Shine by Collective Soul, James asked Chelsea the question she had been waiting for, for a long LONG TIME. He asked and she said YES!
