We met during COVID through our mutual friend, Shawn. After two weeks of nonstop texting, we finally had our first date at Heritage in Wappingers. With a curfew in place, our time was limited, but that didn’t stop us from diving into endless conversation and discovering just how many mutual friends and favorite places we had in common. One date quickly turned into four, and the rest was history.

Kelly soon moved into Austin’s Beacon apartment, where they loved the energy of Main Street before settling in Wappingers for a year. In 2022, they found and bought their first home together in Poughkeepsie, starting an exciting new chapter side by side.
