Our story began 7 years ago, when Mark reached out first, and Chelsea came to his house in Waupun. We had no idea that we would end up where we are now, but we are so incredibly thankful that we both agreed that I wasn't going home after that first night of meeting! Chelsea fell in love with Arabella & Briella and knew this was the life she wanted! In December 2016 we decided that what we had was more than friendship. Two days later after meeting Mark made it official.

Their story then continued on with Chelsea moving in in December 2016 & in March 2017 they found out that they were pregnant and due in December 2017 with their daughter Brooklynn. Mark and Chelsea started making many memories and started their adventure as a family by making multiple memorable camping trips. We added to our family and brought home our dog Akyah in December of 2020.

Mark proposed on July 23, 2021, at Pineland Campground by having a banner with pictures of our family with words saying, "WILL U MARRY ME".

We are both so excited to celebrate our day with the special people in our lives.
