We have 26 miles open public lakefront.
26 miles.
Very unique for a city this size.
To have all the close family here,
so many people have shown up
and the friends who really are as family.
It just, you know, I just get verklempt you know?
You guys look gorgeous!
Did you see my shoes, grandma?
Handsome guy!
You've been practicing your GQ shot.
Man, he's going down.
Is he?
Oh wow, Chels.
So exciting!
The story of us.
The ceremony wouldn't be complete
without reminding your friends and family how you got here.
♪ It's justice for our memories ♪
♪ Of gold and silver tears ♪
Chelsea, who is always willing to take chances,
meets Andrew who is risk adverse.
Chelsea who loves changin' it up casts a spell on Andrew
who loves routine.
He later would stalk Chelsea's route to class
only to miss Chelsea who would randomly alter her path.
♪ You were once a child of innocence ♪
♪ And I see you just the same ♪
I'm forever grateful for your persistence,
as we like to joke,
in making our relationship official in those early days.
It's fair to say Andrew was determined
to pursue his fairy goat queen
to the ends of the earth.
The boy was in love.
♪ And you're always on the run ♪
I remember the first time I saw you,
sophomore year at Northwestern.
I was immediately attracted to your sparkling eyes
and adorable smile.
My next thought was that you were a bit weird
and I couldn't figure out what kind of weird,
but fast forward eight years
and I can tell you it's the best kind of weird
and the perfect complement to my own off-beat personality.

I promise to be your prep cook, wash the dishes,
and maybe even expand my independent cooking abilities.
I promise to always split meals with you
and defer to your preference
when we disagree on what the order.
And I promise
to let you have the chocolate peanut butter dessert
all to yourself.
I promise to support whatever you choose to do.
Let me see, let me see.
Whether that's starting a food business,
traveling the world,
taking beautiful pictures or all of the above.

As we continue this journey,
I promise to support you through the good and the bad,
share in all the laughs and the tears,
split every meal with you,
make you and our family my number one priority,
root for the Mets and allow you to shout at the TV once.
But only once during each game.

We started dating when neither of us was looking
for a relationship.
We stayed together when we moved to different cities
and then, over more than a year separated by oceans,
communicating through long emails
and Skype calls when the time zones aligned,
our relationship grew stronger.
I can't wait to figure out life with you,
travel the world with you,
build a family with two to four children
that look exactly like you
and grow old together, hand in hand.
Anyone who has spent time with Chelsea and Andrew knows
that their love is special.
Chelsea upbeat, go with the flow, free spirit.
Andrew appreciates nothing more than hard facts.
Chelsea, you and I also share a deep love of laughter.
Andrew, logical, rational, super practical.
She does not shy away from new experiences.
At the end, I noticed a special sparkle in their eyes.
Maybe of you will remember, he was instantly smitten.
Andrew, who literally turned into
the heart-eye emoji every time...
I can't wait to witness many milestones in your life.
To Andrew and Chelsea Star, l'chaim.

Back in college a few weeks
after I finally convinced you to be my girlfriend,
I asked you, rhetorically,
how does a guy like me end up with such an incredible girl?
You bluntly responded, persistence.
♪ You feel the joy ♪
♪ You can trust in love again ♪
♪ I'll feel the toil that brought you ♪
More than six years later,
I promise to devote every bit of that persistence
to being the husband you deserve
and to making you the happiest woman in the world.
I love you.
