Our Wedding

First Met

Kelsey and Jeffrey first met in 2019 during their junior year of high school. Kelsey was a customer at Skyline Chili in Finneytown, where Jeffrey was working in the kitchen. After several visits and seeing him each time, Kelsey eventually worked up the courage to ask for his Snapchat. That moment marked the beginning of their friendship.

Building a Relationship 

For their senior year, Kelsey and Jeffrey chose to attend Roger Bacon’s homecoming together as friends. They were not sure about dating yet since they went to different high schools.

Early Dating

When the COVID-19 lockdown began, Kelsey and Jeffrey started spending time together nearly every day. From bike rides and walks to enjoying ice cream dates, they made the most of their time together. In July 2020, at Caesar Creek Lake, Jeffrey asked Kelsey to be his girlfriend, and from that moment on, they’ve been inseparable.

School 

Kelsey and Jeffrey both chose to stay close to home and attend the University of Cincinnati. Since classes were held online in the fall of 2020, they often studied and completed their coursework together at the library.

2nd Trip 

With many little trips in between, spring of 2023 Kelsey and Jeffrey went back to treasure Island Florida. They knew this place was special so they couldn’t resist going back.
