They both attended Howard University. She was a cute, "no-nonsense" soccer player. He was a handsome football player and indulged in all the popularity that came with it. They became good friends, and admittedly, he wasn't the "settling-down-with-one-girl" type. So, friends they remained for a long time. But all the signs were there...the daily phone calls (that you find yourself looking forward to more and more)...the constant questions from friends asking "what's up with you and Chelsea"? and all the comments about how the two of them would make a cute couple. And, when she loves Beyonce as much as he loves Jay-Z (No...Seriously...they LOVE Beyonce and Jay-Z), you just kinda know that these two have the potential to have a beautiful relationship.
Memorial Day weekend will forever mark the moment a road trip with friends suddenly turns into something more....something more romantic...something more endearing...something more like...well...LOVE. Chelsea and her friends and Jay and his friends met at a club. Chelsea, excited to see all her friends, was giving hugs and kisses all around. As Chelsea went to kiss Jay on the cheek, he turned his head and their lips met. Now, call this luck...call this destiny...or call it the seizing of an opportunity by a guy who had finally come to the realization that maybe this woman was, in fact, worth settling down with. But whatever you call it, this night out and a stolen kiss between "friends", set into motion the love story of Chelsea and Jay.
On a rainy, Friday evening, March 2, 2012 at the beautiful Newton White Mansion decorated in shades of purple, Chelsea and Jay shared yet another significant kiss. This one was different, however. This wasn't a mere kiss between "friends", but instead a COVENANT sealing kiss, between husband and wife.
Jay and Chelsea, thank you so much for allowing us to document your beautiful wedding. They say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. It's couples like you, wonderfully warm families like yours, and crazy, fun bridesmaids and groomsmen like yours, that make documenting weddings both an honor and a privilege, but most of all, a day where we simply get to do what we love. Again, thank you so, so much!!!! Congratulations!! Please know that you're forever our friends, and we're here if you need ANYTHING!
Love
Staci and Janna
