Their Story

Max and Chelsea’s journey together began back in early 2019. They met on a dating app called Bumble. Little did they know that they both swiped right on their futures together. They officially started dating on April 10th, 2019. This is the date they used as their anniversary up until their engagement date. Max asked Chelsea to marry him down on one knee in the Winner’s Circle at Santa Anita Racetrack. Max disguised the proposal as a “31st Birthday Celebration” for Chelsea. He had some close friends and family come join them for a full day of horse racing. It wasn’t until the 7th race that everyone pointed out the race was sponsored in Chelsea’s name for her “Birthday”. After the race, the group had the opportunity to take a picture in the Winner’s Circle. This is where Max had his father, Scotty, distract Chelsea while Max’s mother, Chantal, handed him the ring she was carrying in her purse all day. There was a roar in the crowd from the 10,000 plus fans when Chelsea turned around and found Max on one knee and a very shiny diamond both looking up at her. After the multiple “are you seriouses?” Max had to remind Chelsea that she needed to respond. Needless to say that it worked out for the best, Max and Chelsea were engaged on April 22nd, 2023. Yes, it was on Chelsea’s actual birthday. These events all led up to their special day.
