Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Chelsy and Gary met on Memorial Day weekend in 2013 in Washington, DC, while Chelsy was interning for the Senate, and Gary was in town for a short visit to see friends. That Thursday evening while at The Park, their eyes met. A conversation was started and they found out just how much they have in common. ;) They began dating soon after that weekend and became the love of each other’s lives…

And the rest is history…
