Their journey began in the most unexpected of places—a pizza shop where they both worked in high school. At first, Chelsea showed no interest, but fate had a way of bringing these two together. After a few years, RJ’s hopeful persistence paid off. Chelsea, though hesitant at first, decided to give him a chance, and it’s a decision they’re both forever grateful for!

Their relationship faced the challenge of long distance, but love knows no bounds. RJ proposed to Chelsea at a local brewery, a place that had become special to them, surrounded by the familiar faces of the staff they had come to know so well. Chelsea’s excitement was palpable when she said YES, and they set their sights on a wedding date that held special significance: exactly 10 years from their first date on November 25.

Chelsea had always dreamed of a sophisticated Christmas-themed wedding, and she brought that vision to life in the most stunning way. The venue featured a beautiful palette of burgundy, reds, whites, and greys, creating an elegant and festive atmosphere. Gilly’s Lilies floral detail added a beautiful touch of sophistication. A huge shout out to Nicole Schaeffer for her incredible work in coordinating and help designing this magical day!

Chelsea wore a breathtaking gown from David’s Bridal, perfectly complemented by her bridesmaids’ dresses from Reverly. The talented Khara Roberts worked her magic with hair and makeup, making Chelsea look and feel absolutely radiant.

Mayberry Hospitality delighted everyone with a delicious dinner, while Playing with Sugar provided a delectable array of sweets that had everyone coming back for more. The evening was filled with laughter, joy, and non-stop dancing, thanks to the fantastic entertainment from 3 West Productions.

Thank you, Chelsea and RJ, for allowing us to be part of your beautiful day. Your love story inspires, and your wedding reflected the joy and love you share. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and beautiful moments together. 🥂
