The Proposal

Picture of The Proposal

Dakota proposed to Chelsea on December 14th, 2024. Dakota told Chelsea they were going on a date to Union Station in St. Louis, Mo. While on the Farris Wheel, it had stopped, with them at the very top. The view was amazing! To Dakota, Chelsea made it all the more perfect. He asked her to marry him at the top of that Farris Wheel, above the sparkling city. And she said yes!
