An Interview What was your first impression of each other?

C: He was super cute and very athletic! He emailed me and I couldn't get over how adorable he was. He seemed super outgoing! I immediately text my mom who was in Texas for my dad’s bone marrow transplant and sent her pictures of him from his FB telling her how cute he was.

B: My first impression of Chelsea was how beautiful she is! I remember I saw her during a football game and the only thing I could think was “I have to know who this girl is!” so I Facebook stalked her and messaged her asking for her number.

What did you do on your first date?

C: We went to a high school football game at Viewmont high school against Bountiful. I had cheer practice so it was a weird first date because I had to meet him and his friend Tyler, Tyler's

girlfriend at the time, and her best friend there.

We went and ate after and then went up to North Canyon Park. It was sprinkling outside and we just walked around with each other and talked.

B: We went on a double date to a football game.

I remember being so nervous wondering what she was going to think of me!

Who initiated the first kiss?

C: Blake definitely made the first move! I was super shy. It was actually at North Canyon Park. I was giddy the rest of the night and never wanted it to end. I couldn't get enough!

B: I did! We were taking a walk around North Canyon park just talking and really getting to know each other when all of a sudden we stopped and turned and looked at each other and I asked “So when do I get to find out how good of a kisser you are?”

Who was the first to say I love you?

C: Blake said it first. I knew I cared about B early on, but was always afraid to call it love because we were so young. When Blake said it to me for the first time I just knew it was right.

B: It was me! I truly felt so much love for Chels before I even knew what was happening. I was head over heels for her from the moment I met her.

What’s the most interesting or surprising thing you’ve learned about each other since you’ve been together?

C: He can make a joke out of absolutely anything.

He also is what I call my “polar opposite." He is super outgoing and can literally start a conversation with a complete stranger (and believe me he's done it before). Oh, and he loves to belt out songs and sing whether we're alone together, or he's in the shower, and even when we're out in public and he wants to embarrass me!

B: That she takes FOREVER to get ready. “But I don't mind, waitin on my woman!”

What is one of your favorite memories together?

C: I have so many favorite memories with him, but one of the funniest moments for me was actually when we weren't together. I had a BMW in high school and Blake was in a construction class outside. As I pulled out with my music blaring I put my foot on the brakes and hit black ice. My car locked up and slid straight into a snowbank!

The entire construction class saw it happen. I was so embarrassed. Luckily there wasn't a single scratch! As I rolled the window down to tell the teacher I was okay, sure enough Blake Titmus (the one person I didn't want to see) was right there wide eyed and frozen in his tracks. I immediately got so red in my face and just busted up laughing!

Sure enough Blake’s hilarious laugh followed when he knew I was okay. I frantically drove off and received a text from him not long after that teasing me. He still has never let me live that moment down!

B: I would have to say Hawaii 2015. We had a lot of new experiences. Getting to spend so much time together and loving every second of it — by far one of my favorites!

What do you love most about each other?

C: I love his humor; he makes me laugh when I feel like it's impossible. What I love most about him though is that he is a family man. He will do anything for the ones he loves; that's how I know he will be the most perfect husband and dad to our future kids. He is also incredibly patient (and I love him for it) with me- whether it's waiting for me to get ready or trying to wait for me to make a decision. I love his smile, too! :) B: The way that she puts everyone else before herself. I absolutely love her eyes... and her butt is pretty nice too! ;) When did you know you'd met the one?

C: It was actually very early on! I vividly remember the moment I knew. My parents were gone to Texas for a couple of months while my dad was getting a bone marrow transplant and a lot of times I felt alone… Then I met Blake. One night I started crying and told him I was scared my dad wasn't going to make it and Blake held me for hours and just let me cry. I felt so stupid for letting him see me cry so early on and I kept apologizing.

And then Blake looked at me and promised me he would always protect me no matter what; I knew in that moment he meant it. He's kept his word ever since.

B: I remember we were just hanging out one night and I was sitting there staring at her asking myself how I got so lucky that this amazing girl is all mine. I knew then I wanted to make her my wife one day!

What’s next for you two?

C: We have a lot of plans! Relaxing after all of this wedding planning is at the top of our list! But hopefully, Blake gets me a puppy(hint hint) in the near future! Blake and I plan on growing in our careers and building our family. If I have any say in when we have babies, it's ASAP! But we will see if B and I can come to an agreement.

B: Starting our lives together. Getting to buy our first home and starting a family!

How We Met as told by Chelsea Titmus

lake and I first met in high school when I was 15 and he was 16. He sent me a Facebook message on August 29, 2009 and said he had heard of me through other people and he thought I was cute. He ended up asking me for my number so we could get to know each other.

Blake played baseball and football in high school and I cheered. Blake apparently saw me a couple weeks before asking for my number. He saw me cheering on the sidelines during one of his games and asked his friend on the football team who I was. Then he Facebook stalked me and sent me a message. I ended up emailing him back and we talked non stop that following week. We instantly hit it off.

I officially met him in person that week on September 1st in the front of WX. He was with his friend, Tyler, and I was with a couple of my friends.

I was too nervous so even though I saw him I wasn't about to make the first move and meet him in person. He came up, gave me a big hug, and introduced himself officially although I felt like I'd already known him my whole life. All I remember is I kept asking him if he was nervous for his football game later that night! I was so nervous it's all I could think of talking about.

I still remember the giddy feeling I felt after meeting Blake. I knew the moment I met him that he was going to be a very special and important part of my life, but I never imagined that August day in 2009 would lead to him getting down on one knee. Here we are 7 years later, and that “cute football player� I had a major crush on is about to be my husband!

The Proposal as told by Blake Titmus

ack in September of 2015 Chelsea told me that she was going to plan for us to take fall pictures and was going to have them done by a photographer.

I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew this was the perfect opportunity.

I talked to her mom, told her my idea, and received her input and she helped me so much!! She got all the contact info of the photographer and found us a videographer and I went to planning. I told my parents and our best friends the plan and that I really wanted them there. I went up to Chelsea's house and talked with her parents asking for their blessing to ask Chelsea to marry me. I don't think I have ever been so nervous in my whole life!

On October 5th (the day of the engagement), it was pouring rain all day long!

Chelsea didn't want to do pictures and wanted to cancel because it was so bad. I was in panic mode. I didn't know what to do, whether to change it or chance it and hope it works out. I finally told Chelsea no matter what, we are doing these “pictures”. She was not a happy camper. We drove up to Park City where her parents and aunt were scouting out the perfect place! Chels and I started taking pictures away from the site so it gave everyone a chance to get there and get situated.

We were still taking pictures like Chelsea had originally planned and the weather had cleared and was amazing. We went back to the field I was going to propose in. My heart was beating outside of my chest. I was so nervous I could not believe what was happening! I was holding Chelsea telling her, “Our lives are going to be changed forever after today.” She looked at me wide eyed and I told her, “I need you to take off your promise ring.” And then I dropped on one knee and everyone there came out of hiding, cheering and crying. She had absolutely no idea what just happened! It was definitely one of the best days of my life.
