Our Wedding

I first met Jacob the day I interviewed at ATK. He was part of the "young engineer" dinner that our company does after interviews. Utah can be a tough place to move to so they like to allow for a less formal question session. He walked into dinner with a purple Colorado Rockies hat and long hair that flipped up around the hat. My first instinct was excitement at someone who might like sports as much as I do. I learned my lesson the hard way that he was not very into watching sports despite his athleticism. Jacob and I have grown up through our 20's together travelling, partying with friends, new jobs, and ultimately moving in together. Jacob and I love visiting breweries, travelling, spending time with family, taking his other girlfriend (the rock crawler) out, and playing games. 2020 was a rough year and the best part was moving in with Jacob. We have been able to settle into a routine that now includes our puppy Oskar. I am so blessed to have Jacob by my side. He is my best friend, gets the brunt of my work venting, cheers me on, cooks me dinner, and always checks that my car works. He loves me no matter how stressed I become and is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Our relationship has not always been a straight line especially dating someone you met at work. All of our challenges have taught us new lessons on what we wanted in a relationship. Being raised a "city kid", Jacob and his family have taught me the beauty in slowing down and not having a Target in a 10 mile radius (although I still prefer this). I am so excited to marry Jacob and continue to make great memories.

Chelsea's Side

I met Chelsea at a recruiting dinner for ATK on her very first trip to Utah, I immediately noticed her and thought she was cute but we didn’t sit near each other or talk most of the night; at the end of the dinner we played a game of card roulette where my hat was volunteered and she chose my card… so I got to do the paperwork.&nbsp;After the recruiting dinner Chelsea went back to school and I continued work, and our paths didn't cross until months later when I noticed she was working at ATK and I asked if she wanted to hang out.&nbsp; Chelsea and I have been great friends from the first days we met one another, we dated which brought its own complications here and there given that she was from Pennsylvania, I was from Colorado, and we were both transplants to Utah that didn't know how long our outlook was for the state.&nbsp;After a few years though I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this woman; Chelsea is smart, talented, fun, attractive, loving, and kind.&nbsp; I've spent more time with Chelsea and had more experiences with her (my best friend) than anyone in the past several years.&nbsp;Traveling to different places around the country, attending sporting events, visiting family homes, camping, jeeping, etc. she makes all experiences better.&nbsp;Since meeting one another Chelsea and I have made so many close friends and so many great memories.&nbsp;I asked Chelsea to marry me on the beach in Delaware, she said yes, and I've never been happier.

Jacob's Side

They play fetch with me and feed me. They also don't get tooo mad when I chew up pillows and blankets. It is pretty great.

Our Story

Photos

From random freshman roommates to being inseparable, Hope has been by Chelsea's  side through everything. They made it through 4 years of school with a lot of fun and cheered each other on as they chased big career goals across the country. I am so thankful to have her by my side always.  

Hope Weller

Chelsea's sister. Being only a year and a half apart, Chelsea and Conger grew up together. They spent many summers at camps and babysitting Cameron to then watching Connor grow up while at Penn State together.

Connor Walker

Jacob's brother and best friend. Only separated by a couple years, the two grew up running around on dirt bikes, farming together, playing sports, and to this day continue to find ways to play. As someone I always turn to and can count on, Jacob is grateful to have Justin by his side on our wedding day. 

Justin Guynes

Chris is Jacob's cousin and close friend. The two grew up together, playing sports, hanging out, and getting into trouble from elementary school through college and to this day. There isn't much the two don't enjoy doing together and can have in any setting. 

Chris Beanland

Jacob's sister and Chelsea's future sister-in-law. Corissa lived with Chelsea for two summers and enjoyed New Girl marathons with mimosas. Since moving to Utah, Cori has been Chelsea's gym partner and close friend.

Ben can always be counted on for a good time. He is who Chelsea insists has trained her to be late to everything. Ben lived with Chelsea for two years and is more like a brother AND is a great friend to Jacob. Ben and Jacob love a good day on the boat and discussing fishing strategies. 

Ben Losser

Travel

One of our favorite things to do is visit breweries! Even though the liquor laws are strict, there are some great ones in Salt Lake City. Our recommendations include: Templin Family Brewing (our favorite), Bewilder, Saltfire, Fisher, Shades, Kiitos, Proper, and Epic. If you like certain beer and want a recommendation let us know!

Breweries!

We love Moab! Jacob grew up very close to Moab (about 4.5hours from SLC) and it has a very special place in his heart. There is a lot to do here including visiting Arches National Park, hiking, mountain biking, and off-roading. We regularly take the rock crawler down to do just that!

Moab

If you are visiting with little ones, the zoo is close by. It is a good size and easily walkable.

Hogle Zoo

This area of downtown is specific to the LDS church. It has very pretty grounds when not under construction. Across the street is the city creek mall which is an indoor/outdoor shopping area.

Temple Square

Park City is such a fun place to walk around! The Olympic Park is really fun to see that piece of Olympic history and downtown Park City is beautiful. The mountains stay slightly cooler as well if you need to escape the heat.
