Keeley and John started their story at Carroll University in 2018 when Keeley was a freshman and John was a junior. It was far from a love story at this point as Keeley was John's boss at their on-campus job and their first interaction was Keeley correcting John and assuming he was a freshman.

Luckily, Keeley and John's relationship was not ruined after it's rocky start and quickly bloomed as John realized Keeley could be a strong asset in helping him pass his chemistry final exam. John's passing grade on this exam secured his interest in continuing to keep Keeley close, at least until he got through his analytical chemistry course in fall 2018...

Keeley was not taking no for an answer and was determined to get the title of girlfriend. Success was secured when John came to Crystal Lake to meet Keeley's family in August 2019!

Keeley and John's relationship survived meeting the family, the craziness of COVID, and a year of long distance between John in Madison, WI and Keeley in Milwaukee, WI. On August 11th, 2022, Keeley and John adopted their first dog, Cooper, and started their "dog parent" era!

Keeley and John continued to grow in their relationship as John took the huge step in becoming Catholic in spring 2023. Keeley and John wrapped up the year with a bang getting engaged in New York City after watching Keeley's favorite musical, Wicked! From there, the countdown began to the wedding in January 2025 and we are so excited to celebrate the next step in our lives with our family and friends!
