Kelsey and Blake's love story started in 1982! You may think that is a typo, but it isn't. Their fathers were pledge brothers while at UT Austin, and almost 40 years later, the two dads were planning to see each other at a fraternity reunion dinner when they discovered that their kids would soon be living in the same town of Austin. Kelsey is a photographer and freelance marketer there, and Blake was moving to town to work in accounting. The dads surreptitiously decided to invite the two "kids" to the dinner. With some last minute seating changes, the two "conveniently" ended up next to each other. As you can tell from the first photo, they immediately hit it off and were oblivious to anything else going on around them. The couple spent the next two years getting to know each other and their families better, spending time traveling, skiing, golfing, hiking, and exploring Austin. Finally, after two years of dating almost to the exact date, the fathers were able to celebrate their official status of matchmakers (in the fourth photo) at Kelsey and Blake's engagement on 11/11.
