When our eyes met for the first time, we both knew something big was about to happen. We were both working at 99 Sea Level in Bethany Beach DE and were hustling on a very busy Labor Day Weekend. From that weekend on we started checking the schedule and taking a "break" when the other was coming in. We would stay up late on Brian's back porch and talk, laugh and play games together. You could find us playing pool together often when we were not working. When Chelsea got the opportunity to move to St. Croix, she asked Brian if he wanted to go with her on an adventure of a lifetime. A few hours later, Brian agreed to go and three weeks later they were on island! While it might seem unconventional to move in with each other, in another country, where we didn't know anyone else, within the first month of dating; this spirit is what drove us together and set the foundation for something beautiful. 💕

After months of quarantine, we decided to take a week and go camping to celebrate Brian's 28th birthday. Chelsea planned the vacation not knowing that Brian was planning to propose. On the day we went on a wine tour in a small MO town nearby, we found ourselves in a beautiful garden at St. James Winery. Next to a pretty water feature, Brian got down on one knee and popped the question! Chelsea said "Yes! Yes! Of course yes!" and started our engagement after almost five years together. We are so excited to have you help us celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together!
