How we met

It was NOT love at first sight

In 2015 Chelsea was managing Bookies Bar and Grill in Detroit, Kevin was working for Olympia. He wanted a bar job to make some extra money during the Tigers Games. A mutual friend knew Chelsea was hiring bartenders and brought Kevin over to meet her. Chelsea hired Kevin on the spot and he started that night. Like the tagline reads, it was NOT love at first sight for Chelsea. (This is the part that Lydia likes) Chelsea found Kevin to be very annoying, especially while he was bartending playing his dumb sports trivia games. But Kevin would not give up. Finally after a month and a half, Kevin got Chelsea to finally change her mind. Chelsea was taking out the trash and sliced her hand on a broken bottle. Because Chelsea had a few drinks, she allowed Kevin to help take care of her, and he took full advantage of that opportunity. His nagging finally paid off, 7 long years later they are getting married!

Our First Date

First date +2

On our first date, Kevin decided to take Chelsea out to a few bars around downtown. Little did he know, Chelsea invited her dad Brian and friend along for the fun! First stop was Bookies, then off they all went to Fountain Bistro to visit bartender friends (but really to get free drinks). Next stop was Townhouse, but Brian never made it there and disappeared into the night. By the end of the night Kevin (being the dad he is) slowed down his drinking knowing he was going to have to drive home. This was also the night Kevin found out that Chelsea is not allowed to drink more then one Soft Parade, Chelsea took off running down Woodward back towards Bookies and left Kevin to walk back. A first date to never be forgotten!

The Proposal

Magical proposal

December 14th, Kevin tricked Chelsea into thinking they were going downtown to Campus Martius to ice skate and go out to eat with Lydia. While they were skating around the rink Terri and Paul walked up and "surprised" them. Kevin told Lydia to spend a few minutes with Aunt Terri and Uncle Paul while he took Chelsea around alone. As they started skating Chelsea immediately knew something was up since Kevin could not keep it together. After they finally made it around the rink one time, Kevin took Chelsea towards the middle and everyone on the rink stopped and stared while Kevin slid down onto one knee. As Kevin was professing his love to Chelsea, Aunt Terri handed off the ring to Lydia and she skated it out to Kevin to put on Chelsea's finger. Lydia knew prior to that evening what the plan was and was so excited to be apart of it. Little did Kevin know but Chelsea was also keeping a surprise of her own... After Kevin proposed, Chelsea told Kevin that she was pregnant and that they were having a baby!
