The Story

Est 2015

What started off as two young kids, having fun and enjoying life. Turned into a love story. The minute they met they spent everyday together since. Time stood still. Eventually they went on to start a family of their own. They now have two beautiful daughters - Marcianna “MJ”, and Alianna “Ali”. They have officially decided to move on in love and say their vows with God as their witness.

The Proposal

07.02.22

Chelsea & Jesse planned their first trip to California together, San Francisco to be exact. One evening, Jesse planned a romantic dinner at Epic Steak. There, they finely dined with a beautiful view of the ocean & San Francisco bay bridge. At sundown, he popped the question in front of dozens of others dining. As they cheered for him on one knee, Chelsea was ecstatic with emotion & said YES! They celebrated that evening at their place on the beach over a bottle of champagne gifted to them by one of the restaurant’s guests.
