How we met
By the groom, Eze:
As with many Millennials, our story began with a swipe on a dating app. Chelsea had just moved to a new city to start work as a corporate attorney. She was adamant about dating someone in or around her neighbourhood, so she changed her settings to require her potential suitors to live within a 5-mile radius of her home. I had just started my cardiology fellowship in a town two hours away.
Fortunately, for us, my sister lived within Chelsea’s 5-mile radius. At the time we matched, I just happened to be visiting my sister for Thanksgiving and Chelsea had not yet left town to visit her family. After exchanging a few messages, I insisted on having a phone call with her. Although she was initially reluctant to get on the phone with a man she just met, our initial phone call lasted two hours. So did our second phone call. At that point, I knew he had to take her on a date.
Here is how their first date went:
Our first date was on December 28, 2019. Eze took me to see Cirque de Noel. Three weeks later, we officially became a couple. Since then, we have shared so many life experiences, including the pandemic and raising our boisterous labradoodle. Eze proposed to me on August 21, 2021.
