Chelsea was server at Overtime Sports Bar & Grill in Bowling Green and Kendrick was a regular customer (imagine that). Kendrick, of course, was friends with everyone, especially a few other servers that Chelsea worked with. Chelsea became close to those servers and hung out with them outside of work. Kendrick would also be around. They got to know each other and when Kendrick came to OT, he started sitting in Chelsea's section. Of course he knew he had to tip well, so that attracted Chelsea for one. Also, sitting in her section added of touch of admiration as well. (He knew what he was doing). From there, they started spending time together one and one and then became a thing!
Kendrick started planning the proposal about six months before he finally popped the question! On 7/28/18, he told Chelsea they were going to Nashville that weekend to celebrate her birthday. Chelsea didn't think this was odd because he had did this the year before and said he wanted to make this a tradition. He planned for us to eat at Overtime (hmmm?) and then head to Nashville. Kendrick and Chelsea got ready at his parents house this morning and Kendrick told Chelsea he was going to Bowling Green to get a haircut. He told Chelsea to ride with his parents and they would bring her to OT. Chelsea did wonder about this as she always goes with him to the barber shop AND she knows he ALWAYS showers after a haircut before he goes anywhere. Chelsea brushed it off and thought, no it can't be. Chelsea, Gayle, and Curtis were in the car on the way to BG and Kendrick calls Chelsea and tells her she is going to be making a stop first before they go eat and said don't ask any questions just go with it! Again, Chelsea wondered but brushed it off. They pull up to one of the prettiest landmarks in BG and Chelsea is told to walk to Cimone who was waiting for her at the beginning of the bridge. Cimone then walks Chelsea to the bridge and Chelsea sees every person she loves there waiting for her. There were groups of people along down the bridge: Chelsea walked to her best friends and they read a handwritten message from Kendrick and handed her red rose. Chelsea then walked to her mother and husband and they read a message and handed her red rose, then Chelsea's father and wife, sister and family, brother and family, Kendrick's parents and family, and then finally to him, with the rest of his family behind him. He handed Chelsea a white rose. grabbed her hand, had to get himself together before speaking, said several sweet words, got down on one knee, and asked Chelsea to MARRY him! Chelsea said YES! And everyone clapped, laughed, and cried. It was the best day ever!
