Happy Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. Over the years, we've seen some pretty interesting proposals come to central Ohio. But nothing has piqued my interest quite like this Crystal Lagoon proposal at Buckeye Lake. There's just something about crystal clear water and white sands that really speaks to me. Maybe it's because I haven't been able to visit an actual ocean lately, but I am so here for this project.
