John and Kelsey met in 2015 at Radford University. Kelsey was a Senior and John was a Junior. They met at a date party and Kelsey was carrying around an iPad everywhere (she no longer had a phone because she broke too many) and that obviously got John's attention. A short while later John took Kelsey to NY to meet his family at a premier for a movie his brother in-law produced and asked her to be his girlfriend. Kelsey graduated and John still had one more year. Since they were long distance they visited each other and their Radford friends considered Kelsey "5th year Kels" and John "Alumni Rev". After dating long distance for a few years, Kelsey finally made the move to NOVA (obviously something serious since she never considered leaving VB). They traveled, got their amazing dog Leo and 8 years later John proposed to Kelsey. They look forward to continuing to make fun memories in this next chapter!
