Our Story

Adams Side of the Story

Our Story - Adam's Perspective

When I first saw Kelly, I was immediately smitten. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life. I knew I had to ask her out but the problem of spending four years in dental school with her remained – especially if our relationship didn't work out! Another setback was also evident - she was a UNC alum and the task of turning her into an ECU pirate was clearly laid out before me. We went on a couple of dates around Greenville and it was going really well, (especially since I was able to spend large amounts of time with the greatest dog in the universe, Rox.) Then one day, she pretended to be a velociraptor and I knew that this girl was really, really weird. The extent of her weirdness did not stop there but I was already hooked. She has an obsession with all things Game of Thrones, an unhealthy love for Justin Bieber's music, and all of her cooking was going to make me fat. I can't imagine a day without her making up songs to put on Rox's platinum album or talking about farts. She is my soul mate and the one person that can tolerate my endless ability to forget everything. So I used all the powers of sneakiness that I had within me and planned out our engagement. I told her two months in advance that we may have to postpone our engagement until after dental school since applying to residency was really taking a toll. Little did she know, I had already designed and purchased her ring. On November 1, 2015, I asked her to marry me and she said yes (though she doesn't seem to remember anything after walking in the door).I am so lucky to be able to spend my life with her. We are both very excited to be able to share our wedding day with family and friends. Can't wait to see you guys!-As written by his stunning, hysterical and all around amazing fiancé, Kelly

Kellys Side of the Story

Our Story - Kelly's Perspective

When I first saw Adam at a lunch for incoming dental students at ECU, I had no idea I was sitting across from the man I would spend the rest of my life with. He was really really ridiculously good-looking, and I was sure that I had no chance with someone as handsome as he is. I was also so self-conscious that I had attended an inferior school for my college studies that I would be unable to keep up with him in conversations. Imagine my surprise when he asked me to lunch at A'Tavola, an Italian restaurant. We really hit it off! I found myself entranced by his jokes and witty perspectives. I was terribly excited to spend more time with him. Of course, Rox, the supreme overlord of the universe, shared my affection for this man. Without his approval, I would have be unable to continue dating Adam, which would have saddened me greatly. In order to keep Adam's favor and be victorious over the countless other women that desired him, I would need to use all of my amazing cooking skills to ensure he became dependent on me for sustenance. Per usual, it was a brilliant plan - as he is left to making sandwiches and eating fruit in my absence. Adam is my favorite person in the world, besides Rox, of course. Every minute of the last 5 years has been wonderful. The second happiest day in my life was when he asked me to marry him (because the best day was when Rox chose me as his human). I am so thankful to have him in my life and be with me for years to come. My life without him would be devoid of all humor and I would never have learned the error of my UNC-loving ways.I am very much looking forward to sharing our wedding day with our family and friends! Can't wait to be back at home! (Go Pirates!)-Our story as told by Adam

The Story of Us

Our Wedding

Location Details

Engagement Photos

Registry

How we fell in love: On October 3, 1994, Mac was born and I was in kindergarten.  We've been in sisterly love ever since.  Everyone thought she was going to be a boy but I wanted a little sister so badly that I prayed and prayed and prayed and my prayers were answered. Ever since I had been trying to annoy her as much as possible by being bossy, singing her "favorite song," and asking too many questions about her games. I can't imagine my life without her waking up at 6:00am every morning on Christmas Day, being the best aunt Rox could ask for, and so much more.

Casey Anne Walsh

Brent and I went to Green Hope High School and had no idea each other existed. We finally met in Garrett dorm our first year of college at East Carolina University in Greenville and lived together for 3 years at Copper Beech. Sharing the 3rd floor of our townhouse, we bonded over our interests in video games, Batman, and sports. Brent is currently engaged to one of our good friends, Burleigh. 

Brent Schneider

Spencer and I also met in dental school and became fast friends with our combined interests in video games, craft beer, and football. While on rotation in Sylva, he and I explored the breweries surrounding the area including the many in Asheville as well as having fun times during trips to his beach house and brew days at Spencer's house in Farmville.

Spencer Dail

How we fell in love: We met in October 2007 but truly fell in love on February 19th, 2009 over lunch at Lenoir Dining Hall in an attempt to find a roommate to live with me in Manly dorm. We quickly realized we were a perfect match through enthusiasm for Disney movies, endless love of dogs, a passion for reading, health career goals and unhealthy addiction to upscale clothing.

Carol Bledsoe

Bryan and I lived together for 4 years and became close friends when we met during our time in Garrett dorm. Since then we shared many fun times at Copper Beech, Treybrooke, downtown Greenville, and at ECU football games. We've also enjoyed many rounds of golf together, even though I hold him up with my high handicap. Bryan recently married his longtime sweetheart, Caity. 

Bryan Moon

How we fell in love: In June of 1990, I moved to Fayetteville and needed someone to show me how Huntington and Thorncliff lived life. The friendship blossomed and led to so many wonderful memories that included Barbies, laundry baskets, farts, dog obsessions, sleep overs, beanie babies, trampolines, Zorba's breakfasts turned into Sutton's, a love of UNC, crazy carpool rides and many more shenanigans.

Leslie Darden

We met in dental school and have been close since. While living together for 2 years we shared an enthusiasm for foods of all kinds, video games, and good times. Throughout our time at Treybrooke 314-32, Han shared with me his vast knowledge of asian cuisine including the art of making spring rolls, folding chopstick holders from their paper wrappers, and how to cut my finger on a mandolin. 

Han O

How we fell in love: Our first date was on Oct 22, 2005 at a UNC football game when my mom got kidney stones and we had to take her to the hospital. Anna was so helpful and nice about the disaster of a day. That's when I knew she was a keeper! We've been great friends ever since - rooming together in college, chowing down on Chinese at Christmas,  Black Friday shopping, dominating at pictionary, eating Chili's constantly and an obsession with animated movies (Frozen, Hoodwinked, etc).

Anna Gannon Hardy

Brother of the bride. Tommy and I first met when I went to Kelly's house in Fayetteville to meet her parents. We quickly learned we shared an interest in video games, sampling new beers, and suffering from allergies brought about by the oppressive, Fayetteville pollen. You also get to know each other very well when bunking in the same room when the Walsh house is full with visitors!

Tommy Walsh

How we fell in love: On October 29, 2011 we took a road trip to the Missions of Mercy dental clinic in Dare County, NC. We strengthened our bond while attempting to open wine bottles with a pen in the Dominican Republic, devising better sleep schedules, commiserating over dental school stress, eating copious amounts of food at Han's house, and living together "part-time."

Diana Luckhardt

Stephen and I knew each other in high school, but became good friends when we were roommates our first year at ECU in Garrett dorm. We shared many fun nights playing Guitar Hero and Halo with our other dorm-mates and the occasional ventures into downtown Greenville. Living next door at Copper Beech, we had many great memories including some late night Cookout runs.

Steven Wells

How we fell in love: On  March 8, 2010 in the Dominican Republic on a dental mission trip where we made a "no-shower pact" for the entire week (pictured just before the shower on the left). Our love was solidified through sketchy bus trips to New York and cooking shows. Even though she's across the country, we have continued our ridiculous love affair with food, shopping, music exchange, dentistry and each other ever since.  

Mahelet Negash

How we fell in love: We had a brief affair starting March 14, 2010 in the Dominican Republic on a dental mission trip. The "almost unable to land" part of the flight back really solidified the friendship. Those that almost die together, stay together so in July 2011, we became and stayed roommates throughout dental school. Plenty of study nights, cookie cravings and addition to TV shows. I would not have survived dental school without her!
