OUR STORY
CELEBRATING OUR LOVE
Our story began nine years ago in the most unexpected of places: a fantasy football league. What started as a little friendly competition turned into a close friendship, which eventually transformed into something much more. It all kicked off with a simple, perfect first date walking Andrew’s dog, Enzo, and Chelsea’s sister’s dog, Ridley. From that quiet afternoon on, we were inseparable.
Those early years were defined by late nights and dedication. While Chelsea balanced a full-time job with school, Andrew spent his evenings as her personal chauffeur, shuttling her back and forth just so we could steal every possible moment together. We spent every weekend side-by-side and eventually bought our first place in Port Moody. This city has truly become our home. It is a place we love passionately for its quick access to the ocean, the beautiful nature, and, of course, the local breweries. It is where we look forward to starting a family of our own.
In May of 2024, we traveled to Europe for the trip of a lifetime to watch the Monaco Grand Prix. On the Sunday morning of the race, amidst the blooming beauty of the Princess Grace Rose Garden, Andrew got down on one knee and proposed. It was a moment of pure magic on the Riviera, but the stars continued to align for us that afternoon.
Just hours after the "yes," we watched Andrew’s favorite driver, Charles Leclerc, secure a historic victory for Ferrari on his home soil. It was a day of impossible highs, which we capped off with celebratory drinks at the Sunset Beach Party as the sun set over the Mediterranean.
Still glowing from the engagement, we spent the next five weeks exploring the coasts of Italy and Portugal, including a special stay at Chelsea's family home, marking the beautiful beginning of our next chapter together.

To make your weekend as smooth as possible, we have arranged a room block and shuttle service for our guests from one of the hotels in the area.
MARRIOTT FAIRFIELD INN & SUITES
We have secured a discounted block of rooms at the Fairfield Inn. This is the primary hotel for the wedding weekend. Keep in mind check-in for Fairfield Inn is 3pm, if you're coming up on the Saturday you may need to check-in after the wedding.
Why stay here?
We are organizing round-trip transportation exclusively from this location.
Shuttle Service
A shuttle will pick up guests from the Fairfield Inn & Suites and return them at the end of the night. As seating is limited per trip, please plan to board the first available shuttle to avoid delays.

OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS
Hampton Inn & Suites
This hotel is located just down the street from the Fairfield Inn. It is the most convenient alternative, though please be aware that rates are unfortunately higher than our original block.

Airbnb / VRBO
There are great rental options in the area, specifically around Cultus Lake which is only 5-10 minutes from the venue, great for larger groups and generally cheaper. Chelsea and Andrew will be staying at Cultus Lake.
Other Hotels
There are various other hotels in the Chilliwack area. Due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, accommodations are booking up rapidly, so please book as soon as possible.
Important Transportation Note
Currently, the shuttle is only confirmed to pick up from the Fairfield Inn. It will not make stops at Airbnbs or other unlisted hotels. Please schedule Ubers or Taxis in advance if you are staying off the main route.

REGISTRY
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. As we are lucky enough to already have a home full of everything we need, we have chosen not to register for gifts. However, should you wish to honour us with a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be warmly appreciated.
We are so grateful for your love and support.
