The Meet Cute : The couple met at Suffolk University Law School in Boston after their mutual friend , Dylan , had talked them up to each other . Chelsea attended Syracuse University with Dylan , and Dylan said she and Harrison should meet , since they were both going to Suffolk . Sure enough , the two met the first day of law school while waiting in line to take student ID photos . It turned out that they were in the same law school section and had all of their first-year law school classes together . They sat next to each other in class , and formed a close group of law school friends who still keep in touch .
The Engagement : Chelsea ’ s friends from work insisted that they all get their nails done before Chelsea ’ s New Year ' s trip to Florida with her family . Turns out , they knew Harrison was going to propose that night , and that Chelsea would want to have a fresh manicure . The couple had planned to go to dinner with friends in downtown Boston . On their way , they passed by Suffolk University , and Harrison said he needed to use the bathroom inside the law school . They had already graduated , so the security guard gave Harrison a hard time . Chelsea waited for him in the front foyer . Moments later , Harrison approached , reached into his pocket for the ring , and got down on one knee . Chelsea said , “ Yes ! A million times , yes !” On the second floor , a photographer snapped photos , and the evening turned into an engagement shoot . Afterwards , they headed to dinner at Ruth ’ s Chris Steak House in Boston . They arrived at the restaurant and the couple was escorted to a private room where their families were waiting to celebrate .
The Accents : Both the bride and groom grew up Jewish , so incorporating the ketubah and other traditions into the day was important to them .
The Highlights : Their best friend from law school , Brendan , officiated the wedding . He told their story from his perspective and how he saw their love unfold from the beginning through to the wedding day . The evening had the most gorgeous sunset , which was documented in both the couple ’ s and the guests ’ photos . “ It was a moment we couldn ’ t have planned for , but it was so special that all of our guests got a piece of the sunset , too ,” says Chelsea .

The Advice : “ Don ’ t sweat the small stuff . At the end of the day , the forks don ’ t matter , the tablecloths don ’ t matter , and unfortunately , not all guests will be able to make it for one reason or another , but that ’ s OK ! So long as the bride and groom have each other and are able to celebrate the love with the guests , that is really all that matters ,” says Chelsea .
