It all started at work—just two people going about their day, not knowing that life was quietly nudging them toward each other. Tyrell noticed Chelsea first. Actually, it was impossible not to notice her. Her presence lit up the room, and her beauty? Unforgettable. So, naturally, Tyrell did what any guy with a massive crush and just a little bit of courage would do—he started saying hi. Randomly. Often. Always with a smile that was way too big to be casual. At first, Chelsea found it kind of funny, maybe even a little suspicious—who smiles that much at work? But there was something disarming about him, something kind and real behind that grin. They started spending time with mutual friends, the kind of nights that blur into laughter and music and inside jokes. Then came the moment. One night, in a move that was equal parts bold and not-quite-smooth, Tyrell walked up to Chelsea and handed her his phone. No words, no formalities—just that same big smile and the silent expectation: “Put your number in.” Chelsea, stunned by the audacity—but also not wanting to embarrass him in front of his crew—went with it. She put her number in, all the while thinking, “Really? No words? No ‘Hey, can I get your number?’ Just vibes?” But hey, the confidence was… oddly charming. From that mildly awkward but weirdly effective exchange, things took off. What started as simple hellos turned into real conversations. Conversations turned into connection. And that connection grew into a love that felt easy, like it had been waiting for the right time to show up.
Fast forward to a birthday vacation in Las Vegas—what Chelsea thought was just a fun getaway with family, friends, and food (with maybe a slight chance of a proposal). In fact, she was so hopeful Tyrell would pop the question at their fancy dinner the night before, she dressed to the nines and gave herself a mental pep talk just in case. But dinner came and went… and nothing. Tyrell? Cool as ever. Little did she know, he was one step ahead—because he knew she’d be expecting that dinner move. So instead, he waited. On the final day of their trip, the group headed to the Las Vegas High Roller—over 500 feet in the air, surrounded by the lights of the city and some of the people they loved. Chelsea was caught up in the moment, laughing, distracted, enjoying the ride. Then, her favorite song, “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young, started playing. And she knew. She turned around—and there was Tyrell, down on one knee, ready to change both of their lives forever. Chelsea cried. A lot. The kind of tears that only come when your heart is completely full. And now, here they are—side by side, still smiling, still falling, and ready to say “I do” to forever.
