Our Wedding

Ben and Chelsea first crossed paths 12 years ago, living in the same neighborhood but unaware of how their lives would eventually intertwine. It all started one simple afternoon when Chelsea and her son, Sigman were walking to the mailbox. Ben, who lived just down the street, struck up a conversation. What began as a casual chat quickly turned into a friendship that would last for years. Though they didn't start dating until four years ago, their connection always remained strong. Since then, they've made countless memories together — traveling to new places, "camping" under a composite shingled roof, and most importantly, growing as a family with Sigman. Now, as they prepare to get married in July, they are excited to continue their incredible journey together and create even more beautiful memories! Thank you for being a part of their special day!

Our Story

I’m so happy to introduce my sister, Delainey! She has always been an incredible part of my life even when she left Denver to go to college in Durango. In college, she embraced her love for adventure and being outdoors. She also met her husband, Bryan. They currently live in Portland. Delainey’s kindness, humor, and adventurous spirit make her such a joy to be around, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day!

I’m thrilled to introduce you to my wonderful stepdaughter, Madison. While she may be my stepdaughter, our bond goes far beyond that—she’s more like my best friend. We’ve known each other for 16 years, and over that time, we’ve shared countless memories, laughs, and life experiences. We even have the privilege of working together at Shepherd of the Hills Preschool, where we continue to support and learn from each other. Madison is truly a gem in my life, and I’m so excited to have her by my side as we celebrate this special day with all of you!

I’m so excited to introduce Laney, my soon-to-be sister-in-law! She lives in Massachusetts and is married to Don, one of Ben’s groomsmen. Laney is an amazing mom to her two wonderful kids, and she’s been such a fun and supportive part of our lives. We’ve already shared some great adventures together, traveling to Florida, Connecticut, and a trip to the Colorado mountains to celebrate Ben's 40th birthday! I know there are many more to come and I feel so lucky to be gaining not just a sister-in-law, but a lifelong friend!

I’m so happy to introduce Lauren, my soon-to-be sister-in-law! She’s married to Ben’s brother Alex and they live in Connecticut with their three beautiful kids. Lauren and I have bonded over our shared love of reading and have already made some special family memories together. I truly admire her warmth and kindness, and I look forward to growing even closer in the years ahead and the countless laughs we will share!

Lauren Pilpel

I have always been close with my brother. I have many fond memories especially in high school playing music or skiing. Like with any big brother, I want to be just like him.

Alex Pilpel

He is my “other brother”. I had to have him in my wedding party because he is married to my sister.

Don Dowling

My college best friend and roommate. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know if I would have graduated. And if weren’t for me, he would have had a higher GPA. 

Dave Zeerip

I have known him longer than I haven’t known him. I talk to him everyday. He knows almost everything about me and my life.

Maura has known Ben and Chelsea for over a decade! She moved next door to Ben and has been an amazing neighbor! From making countless brownies and giving heartfelt parenting advice, she has watched Ben and Chelsea grow as a family with Sig and has been a true supporter of their relationship from the start. She even told Chelsea back in March, “If Ben doesn’t propose soon, I am going to have to talk to him!” Luckily he didn’t need it!
