We Are Getting Married!

Every love story is special, but ours began in a way that felt meant to be — way back at Carpenter Middle School in 2013. We were just kids then, not knowing that years later, we’d find our way back to each other and build something incredible. Our first date was at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar — simple, fun, and full of laughter (and probably way too much sushi). From that moment, everything just felt easy and right. On July 5th, Max asked Chelsea to be his girlfriend, and that date has held a special place in our hearts ever since. Since then, we’ve shared so many memories — from late-night talks and quiet mornings to big dreams and little victories. Life has been an adventure we’re so grateful to experience together. On November 9th, 2024, Max proposed in our apartment — a moment so intimate and full of love, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Just the two of us, in the home we’ve built together. Now, we’re counting down the days to say “I do” — surrounded by the people who have supported us, laughed with us, and watched our story unfold. We can’t wait to start this next chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Mendillo, surrounded by the people we love most. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you. Thank you for being part of our journey!
