While partaking in a game night, five long distance besties decide to swap names Secret Santa style and set each other up on one good date by the end of the year. In an attempt to do thorough research, the group questions Chelsey about her "type", she responds, "I'm not really sure."
One blistering summer morning, plagued with the question of her true type, Chelsey walks into church, spots a tall, bearded, lumberjack-looking man and thinks to herself, "that is my type." She requests that her friend Elle sets her up with the church man whose name, she learns, is Steve. It has since been joked that she "ordered him up like a cheeseburger."

After a whirlwind fall of traveling, meeting each other's families, and growing their relationship, Steve and Chelsey run into the ultimate travel fiasco.

They spend Christmas week instead cooking breakfast together, watching Christmas movies, and making the best of changed plans. At the end of the week, they both arrive at the same conclusion: they are more sure than ever that this is the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with.
