Chelcie was a just 19 years old at the time. 12 years and three children later, the happily committed couple made the decision to officiate their relationship with a wedding ceremony.  I absolutely love Chelcie’s heart-melting words about marrying the love of her life after having long ago committed to one another, and the unexpected feelings that came along with a marriage she never expected or aspired to.  Chelcie and Joseph were the super lucky winners of a $5,000 wedding package, which certainly helped towards the wedding…

It is not difficult to see how much they adore one another and belong together. Just take a stroll…
