Chelsea and Ryan met at a family wedding. "In the evening, we both had a bit too much drink and kissed on the dancefloor in front of everyone," says Chelsea.

We walked up to the top, which was scary as we had to watch out for bears because of our food! Once we were at the top, we watched the sunset, and Ryan surprised me by asking me to be his wife.
