For Chelsea, who is a children’s occupational therapist, it was a 'no brainer!'

The couple have been together for four years so the answer was a resolute yes, making the momentous day even more special and unlocking the key to her heart!

Moving into a new home gives you plenty to think about but for Dylan it was the perfect opportunity to ask Chelsea to marry him. Over the moon, he couldn’t thank his new fiancée enough.

“I’m just so thrilled that Chelsea said yes and for it to happen on the day we moved into our new home it was just so special and an occasion we’ll both never forget,” Dylan said.
