Chelsea & Chris in Oakland, CA

Chelsea admits that when she went to a club one night while visiting her family in Chicago, she wasn’t exactly looking for love. “It was the last place I would expect to meet my future husband,” she says. Chris spotted her there, however, and after he finally worked up the nerve to ask her to dance, the two were inseparable the rest of the night. The Bride Chelsea Roth, 26, executive administrator The Groom Chris Boniak, 31, IT programmer The Date April 22 When Chelsea and Chris departed that evening with only a hug, “I was a little bummed that he said goodbye without asking for my number,” she says. Luckily, Chris felt the same: “After I walked a few blocks toward my car, I realized that I had to see her again,” he says. The two exchanged numbers and talked often after she returned to California, and they soon began dating long-distance. A year after Chris surprised Chelsea with a proposal, the couple married in a sophisticated, modern wedding in Oakland.
