Our Wedding

DJ and Chelsea first met when they were in Kindergarten! Little did they know then that they would end up marrying one another. Chelsea and DJ went to school together K-Grade 12 and even had crushes on one another in grade 6, but nothing happened until 12 years later. Chelsea wrote on her first post announcing that she was dating DJ, “Who knew that going on a walk with my grade 6 crush wouldn’t happen again for another 12 years...” DJ and Chelsea reconnected on July 7th, 2020 when DJ gave Chelsea a ride back from Panoka to Three Hills. Prior to this they had reconnected several times over FB, but this was the first time they had a real conversation since high school. What could have been an awkward car ride ended up being a deep connection. God sure was working and it became clear to both DJ and Chelsea that the Lord was doing something. Needless to say, DJ and Chelsea ended up going on a walk on July 9th, 2020-12 years after their first walk in grade 6. That is when DJ officially asked Chelsea out and shortly after they became official. One thing that has been clear for DJ and Chelsea, even from that very first car ride, is that the Lord was in this relationship and He was leading it. What sounds like a pretty crazy and fast engagement, was completely a God-thing and led by the Lord. DJ wanted to completely surprise Chelsea with the proposal and he did just that. DJ and Chelsea got engaged August 24th, 2020 on a beautiful August evening (You can see the pics under the tab Photos by Unseen Anchor). Not only was it a beautiful evening, but Chelsea was feeling well, even after a super rough night. The Lord provided such a special engagement and He has continued to lead DJ and Chelsea as they move toward marriage. They will get married almost exactly one year from that very first car ride. They are so excited for this special day and are excited to celebrate with you all! ❤️

Q + A

Registry

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation we do not yet know how many people we will be able to invite. If you are receiving this Invite that is because you are on our guest list. Unfortunately, we will probably not be able to invite everyone we had hoped to invite. Please continue to check this website and your email for upcoming details for our wedding. We hope to have a Live stream or a recorded video of the day for those who can’t attend and we will send updates about that as well. Thank you for your understanding in such uncertain times. Your support, encouragement, love and prayers mean more to us than we can put into words!    We also wanted to let all of our American friends and family know that we are planning a reception for later in the summer if the borders do not open up before July 3rd. Please stay tuned for more details to come. Ephesians 3:20-21  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
