Our story began nine years ago in the most unexpected of places: a fantasy football league. What started as a little friendly competition turned into a close friendship, which eventually transformed into something much more. It all kicked off with a simple, perfect first date walking Andrew’s dog, Enzo, and Chelsea’s sister’s dog, Ridley. From that quiet afternoon on, we were inseparable.

​

Those early years were defined by late nights and dedication. While Chelsea balanced a full-time job with school, Andrew spent his evenings as her personal chauffeur, shuttling her back and forth just so we could steal every possible moment together. We spent every weekend side-by-side and eventually bought our first place in Port Moody. This city has truly become our home. It is a place we love passionately for its quick access to the ocean, the beautiful nature, and, of course, the local breweries. It is where we look forward to starting a family of our own.

​

In May of 2024, we traveled to Europe for the trip of a lifetime to watch the Monaco Grand Prix. On the Sunday morning of the race, amidst the blooming beauty of the Princess Grace Rose Garden, Andrew got down on one knee and proposed. It was a moment of pure magic on the Riviera, but the stars continued to align for us that afternoon.

​

Just hours after the "yes," we watched Andrew’s favorite driver, Charles Leclerc, secure a historic victory for Ferrari on his home soil. It was a day of impossible highs, which we capped off with celebratory drinks at the Sunset Beach Party as the sun set over the Mediterranean.

 

Still glowing from the engagement, we spent the next five weeks exploring the coasts of Italy and Portugal, including a special stay at Chelsea's family home, marking the beautiful beginning of our next chapter together.
