Chelsea’s grandfather was unable to be there on the wedding day, so Chelsea and Mark made special mention of him during the wedding ceremony. Her grandfather sent a video message of congratulations to the couple.

The couple had many readings from loved ones, including this one from Chelsea’s godmother and her husband from The Velveteen Rabbit. The pair donned masks and read what Chelsea describes as “the most special piece about love, life romance and reality that rocked the audience and allowed everyone to ‘breathe in and breathe out’… it couldn’t have been planned but it couldn’t have been more perfect“.
