Who knew swiping right could lead to a love story like ours.... It all started on June 21, 2024 where we had our first date at a Wood-fired Craft Kitchen called Simone's. Delicious food, drinks, and laughs were exchanged sparking a bond that would continue to grow stronger and stronger. It was clear after the first date that this connection was different, and special, and one that we both wanted to continue to explore.

Within our first year of dating, we had several new experiences unique to our relationship...

Kelly introduced Cory to Long Island and NYC for the first time, despite his mom and grandparents originating from the Long Island area. From the Riverhead Cider House to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum Cory caught a glimpse of his NY heritage.

Cory introduced Kelly to one of his favorite areas in the Great Smokey Mountains. While the trip was short, the memories will live with us forever. Bella even joined on the road trip!

Saving the best for last... Kelly and Cory went on a week long cruise (being Kelly's first!) exploring the Bahamas, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

A year after the first date, June 21, 2025, Cory took Kelly to the Saint Augustine Lighthouse where Kelly thought we were just celebrating our one year, however Cory had other plans. Cory proposed to Kelly at the top of the lighthouse and had both of our families waiting to celebrate with us at the bottom.
