OUR LOVE STORY STARTED THE WAY MOST MODERN STORIES DO...ONLINE! BUT THIS ONE HAS A TWIST! WE ACTUALLY MET BECAUSE HEATHER (KELLY'S TWIN SISTER) WAS ONLINE DATING ON HER BEHALF! KELLY HAD GOTTEN FRUSTRATED WITH THE WHOLE PROCESS SO HEATHER TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO WEED THROUGH THE POTENTIAL SUITORS! AFTER AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH AND FOUND KEVIN, EXACTLY WHO KELLY DESCRIBED.

KELLY AND KEVIN'S FIRST DATE WAS AT AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT CALLED NOAH'S. THEY TALKED FOR HOURS AND THEN PARTED WAYS, BOTH OPTIMISTIC ABOUT HOW THEIR LUNCH HAD GONE. KELLY WENT TO MASS AND KEVIN WENT TO A FAMILY EVENT BUT LATER THAT NIGHT KEVIN TEXTED KELLY AND ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO GO SEE THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, AND OF COURSE SHE ACCEPTED! SO PART TWO OF THEIR FIRST DATE THEY TOOK A TRAIN RIDE THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS- AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS KELLY KNOWS AFTER A DATE LIKE THAT, THE REST WAS HISTORY!

SINCE THEN THE TWO HAVE ENJOYED TRAVELING TOGETHER, TRYING NEW ETHNIC RESTAURANTS, PLAYING BOARD GAMES, LEARNING NEW THINGS TOGETHER, AND JUST TALKING. KEVIN ESPECIALLY LOVES THE DEEP HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS THAT KELLY LIKES TO POSE (JUST KIDDING HAHAHA).

THROUGHOUT THEIR YEAR OF DATING THE TWO GREW TOGETHER EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND MENTALLY AND HAVE ENJOYED NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF RELATIONSHIPS AMIDST FULL TIME JOBS AND KELLY BUYING A HOUSE AMIDST OTHER LIFE EVENTS. THEY HAVE CHERISHED THE TIME GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER'S FAMILIES- TRAVELING TO VISIT FUTURE IN LAWS, CELEBRATING HOLIDAYS AND BIRTHDAYS AND RECEIVING INSIGHT INTO EACH OTHER'S EMBARRASSING CHILDHOOD STORIES.

NEEDLESS TO SAY IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG BEFORE THE TWO WERE STARTING TO THINK OF THE NEXT STEPS. IN OCTOBER, KEVIN TRACKED KELLY DOWN AT A PUMPKIN PATCH AND HID HIS SELF AMIDST THE CORNSTALKS IN THE MAZE. HE SAID ALL THAT MUSHY GUSHY STUFF AND AFTER A REMINDER FROM KELLY THAT HE NEEDS TO GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE FOR THIS SORT OF THING, HE ULTIMATELY POPPED THE QUESTION, TO WHICH KELLY ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER!

AS KELLY AND KEVIN PREPARE FOR MARRIAGE THEY LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING THEIR SPECIAL DAY SURROUNDED BY ALL THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THEY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY EACH GUEST OVER THE YEARS IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND HOPE THAT THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER WILL CONTINUE TO GROW OVER THE YEARS AND WILL REFLECT BACK ALL THE LOVE OF THOSE THAT GATHER ON THAT SPECIAL DAY IN OCTOBER!

Things to Do coming soon!
