The Wedding Party

True friendship should bring out the best in you - There is no greater gift than to understand and be understood.


  • Matron of Honor - Amy Wong

    Amy is Chelsea's go to girl. Not a day goes by where they don’t check in with one another. They have been friends for over 12 years starting their first year in college, GO COUGS! Their friendship only grows stronger as adulting gets harder, everyday they are there for one another.

    Chelsea’s favorite memory with Amy is hard to pick. It has been a crazy decade of funny memmories like: whale stunts in the pool, getting in trouble at family dinners for always being too loud, jumping and yoga pictures in Cannon Beach, rum in their Jamba Juice, surprise graduation visits and the ultimate Disney surprise engagement. Life is an adventure and Chelsea is thankful to have Amy by her side! If she had to pick her number one memory it would be dancing in her apartment to ballet piano music, dressed up in tutus and one sock. Fun fact, Jake and his college roommate Matt were hanging out and came home to find Amy and Chelsea dancing. This is the first night Amy and Matt met in person and they fell in love and were married 3 years later.

  • Bridesmaid - Megan Gray

    Megan or Meggals Magoo or Mighty is Chelsea little sister. Throughout their years together they have had ups and down but no matter what they are there for one another, no questions asked! Chelsea has so many memories making trampoline routines, epic mud water slides, dancing for their Ama, playing board games, swimming, golf cart adventures at their Nanas, laughing and laughing some more, sometimes they laugh so hard they would get in trouble as kids. Megan helped Chelsea get off medication for migraines and take the natural route using CBD oils and essential oils and helping realize the importance of a non medicated mind and body. Chelsea cant wait to celebrate this milestone together. Megan & Chelsea have been side by side for 28 years and she knows this is just the beginning to even more life adventures to come.

    Stephanie and Chelsea have known eachother for over 20 years! Chelsea grew up playing sports and continue playing together to this day, currently playing on a volleyball league. This year Steph and Chelsea’s team won the Fall championship! Stephanie is the one who taught Chelsea mindfulness and helped tame her anxiety without medicine, Chelsea is forever grateful!

She can still hear the birds and kids playing when she think of this memory to this day.

  • Bridesmaid - Ellie Hardwick

    Ellie and Chelsea have known eachother for over 20 years. They played soccer together in elementary school but it was not until high school that they really bonded. From girls night to all nighters studying for tests (don’t ever do an all nighter befor a test - it went aweful, they fell asleep) Chelsea can still remember their spot in high school where they would go and talk and vent and be there for one another at the Redmond pool playground swing set. To this day Ellie and Chelsea have stayed close, walking their fur babies Ruger and Cooper at the dog park a few times a month and catch up and supporting one another through life. One of Chelsea favorite memories with Ellie is going to Nashville for her convention and eating hot chicken, goo goo’s, and bushwakers, what a amazing girls/work trip together!

Chelsea always felt like an outsider or out of her element with the fitness community but Jenny felt like family in those classes and on the girls nights and girls trips.
